One of them features a group of firefighters walking across the ashy crops with a hose once it was under control.

A spokesman from the service said: "We would like to thank the farmers for their work in helping to stop the fire spreading and our crews who worked hard in difficult conditions.

"If you see a fire in the open, please call 999 as soon as possible."
