Strange winter so far. We have had 25c+ temps last few days and last night a fire ignited on the next hillside to us. This meant a long night monitoring the situation in case the wind changed direction. Fire stabilised this morning. We have only just been given permission to have burning fires and suspect the culprit didn't hose down and eliminate his burn before the high winds started in the afternoon. Anyway all ok now, thanks to the overnight firefighters!
