Two fire appliances from Torpoint Community Fire Station attended reports of a gorse fire on the cliffs near Cobland Hill. The firefighters established that this was a controlled burn but due to the wind direction deemed the fire unsafe. Beaters were used to extinguish about 60 square metres of gorse.
