It took 12 firefighters and three fire engines to bring the blaze under control, after several members of the public reported that land at the back of a hotel, in Winston Churchill Park, was well alight.

Jersey Fire and Rescue Service Watch Commander Richard Ryan said: “The States police had been notified of the incident and the cause of the fire is under investigation.”

The team of full-time and retained firefighters who attended the incident used a water jet to put out the fire, and had to stay on the scene for an hour to make sure it was completely out.
