Firefighters battled a blaze that destroyed acres of farmland as Britain sizzled in soaring temperatures.

The flames quickly spread through the tinder-dry crops as an amber heat alert was issued.

Britain has experienced one of its hottest and driest years ever, and it is having an impact.

Fires have swept over parts of the country, with some areas worse hit than others.

Norfolk in East Anglia has been badly affected by the latest blaze in Feltwell.

Crews from Lynn, Downham, Fakenham, Methwold and Thetford tackled the fire that ruined crops and scorched the earth.

A video showed the fire burning across the field as firefighters fought it with hoses.

It was one of dozens of farm blazes that the Norfolk Fire and Rescue has attended in the past week, as reported by Need To Know.

A spokesperson said: “Wildfires can start with the smallest of incidents, but spread quickly and can devastate our communities, risking life for humans and wildlife and damaging property and land.

“An amber heat health warning is in place for Norfolk from Tuesday to 6 pm on Wednesday.

“We’re used to the heat here in the fire and rescue service, but not everyone is.

“Hot weather is risky for vulnerable people in our communities, but everyone can be affected by heatstroke or heat exhaustion.

“Stay hydrated and keep cool.

“Check on people around you who may be more at risk of developing heatstroke or heat exhaustion.

“Don’t leave dogs in cars or walk them in high temperatures.”

Last month, a wildlife paradise where Poldark was filmed was turned into a barren Moonscape after a devastating fire.
