Fire crews quickly extinguished a small grass fire on Peel Headlands.

The crews were called to the scene at 3.14pm yesterday (Monday) with witnesses stating that they saw a group of children in the area running away before the emergency service arrived.

Details have been passed onto the police.

It was due to an early call from a member of the public, who spotted smoke in the area, that the fire crews were able to attend to prevent the fire from spreading.
