A large field in Rise Park has been left completely blackened after a fire spread close to nearby homes and gardens.
The fire service said the scorched ground showed the scale of the blaze and demonstrated how quickly it had travelled towards the local community.
Firefighters extinguished the fire within a few hours, preventing the flames from spreading further.
Local residents also helped crews reach the affected area by allowing access through their gardens and properties.
The fire service thanked residents for their patience, support and assistance throughout the incident.
People are being urged to take extra care outdoors as warm and dry conditions continue.
The fire service said the incident was a reminder of how quickly outdoor fires could spread and the potentially devastating consequences for communities, wildlife and the environment.
