Major Studland blaze believed to be started by 'barbecue or campfire'
Crews remain on scene
Dorset firefighters have found evidence of a campfire and a BBQ at the scene of a devastating heath fire on Studland.
Crews believe this to be the cause of yesterday's blaze.
90 firefighters from across Dorset and Hampshire battled to get the flames under control.
Teams remain on site today as it's feared the high temperatures could see hot spots flare up.
In the latest statement, Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "We have found evidence of a campfire and BBQ at the seat of the fire and believe this to be the cause of the fire which started yesterday.
"Please DO NOT have campfires, bonfires or use barbecues in the countryside.
"These types of fires take up huge amounts of resources, not just from ourselves but supporting partners including Local Authorities, Police, Public Health and Environment Agency."
