Man suffers burns while fighting furze fire in west

A team of four firefighters from the St Helier station responded just after 6 pm on Saturday as the fire spread to furze and bushes off Route de la Villaise, in St Ouen.

They were backed up by colleagues from the Western Fire Station and the fire was quickly extinguished.

The man who had tried to put out the flames was given first-aid treatment for burns to his arm at the scene.
