One hundred firefighters battle Bovington blaze.

One hundred Dorset firefighters have been battling a heath fire at Bovington Camp.

Around two hectares of heath and gorse at Clouds Hill were destroyed in the fire on Tuesday evening.

Crews used beaters and hose reel jets to extinguish the blaze.

The service says firefighting was difficult due to the terrain and limited access.
