Fire crews who've tackled a fire in the open on Devon moorland will be back there this morning to check it's completely extinguished.
Crews from Ashburton, Bovey Tracy, Buckfastleigh, Middlemoor and Torquay attended the site last night near to Ashburton.
The fire service say it could be seen for quite some distance and they took quite a few calls about it.
14 beaters were used to put out 150m firefront before they had to retreat from the moor.
A revisit is taking place today in the light to check on the situation.
