WILDLIFE has been suffocated and burned, with habitats destroyed, after two large heath fires broke out.

Around 80 firefighters were called to Upton Heath shortly before midnight on April 2, before being dispatched to Canford Heath at around 5.30am the following morning.

Following the two huge fires, around 51 hectares of heathland was damaged in Upton with an area of 500m x 50m affected in Canford Heath.

Chief executive of Dorset Wildlife Trust, Brian Bleese, said the “big issue” with these fires are the already fragmented heathlands.
