Firefighters spent six hours battling an out of control moorland fire on Trendlebere Down.
Two appliances from Newton Abbot, one four wheel drive pump from Chagford were immediately mobilised to attend the incident last night.
Appliances from Bovey Tracey and Ashburton were also called in to help, with the water carrier from Torquay also mobilised.
Fire crews reported a large gorse fire over several acres with three main fire fronts, using 4x4 vehicles, beaters and hose reel jets on open moorland.
