near Exeter tonight. gorse fire on Woodbury Common | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
A number of firefighters have been hurt. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
It's understood one has been taken to hospital with burns and another | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
four firefighters are being treated for smoke inhalation. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
More than 20 fire engines are at the scene as well as a number | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
A large area of dry heathland is alight with high winds | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Roads around the Common are closed and members of the public | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
Spotlight's John Danks is at the scene now. | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
Well, this was far that some people could see as far away as the M5 in | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
Exeter. The late as I have been told is fire crews are now on top of this | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
fire and are damping down. Still 100 fire officers here. This fire is | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
covering a very large area. We heard about those five fire officers who | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
are injured. A short time ago, I was updated on the condition. | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
Unfortunately five of our firefighters suffered smoke | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
inhalation. One of those firefighters suffered minor burns | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
and has been taken to hospital for precautionary checks. Logistically, | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
it is a difficult and challenging place to put out a fire, given its | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
remote location. They have had to bring several water carriers to try | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
to fight this fire. We will continue to dampen the area overnight and | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
well into the morning. Watch out for those lords hopefully reopening in | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
the morning. We will have the latest on that in our news. | :01:59. | :02:15. | |
Meanwhile, three people were taken to hospital after a fire at a hotel | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
in Torquay last night which police believe was started deliberately. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
It broke out in the basement bar of the Bancourt Hotel | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
More than 100 young farmers from Wales staying | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
there while in the resort for their annual convention. | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
Many were initially unaccounted for causing concerns | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
Two people were treated at Torbay Hospital for smoke | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
inhalation and another suffered a cut arm. | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
Guests were given accommodation at the Riviera Centre overnight. | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
Police are treating it as arson with intent to endanger life | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
We have potentially 114 people to find. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
That is why we have ten appliances here. | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
And it was literally a physical act of walking down the corridors | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
In sport, Plymouth Leander's Ben Proud beat his own British record | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
to retain his 50 metre freestyle title at the British Championships | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
in Sheffield - his club-mate Tom Fannon took silver. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Proud stormed to victory in last night's final | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
The win secured him a place at this summer's | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
In the London Marathon, there was disappointment | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
The 43-year-old mother of two was forced to retire | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
2,500 school children from Plymouth have completed a mile long run | :03:11. | :03:24. | |
as part of the Ocean City half marathon which started | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
The first youngsters across the line were brother and sister. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
Meanwhile three and half thousand adult runners took | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
As the runners set off on the gruelling 13.1 miles | :03:33. | :03:46. | |
around Plymouth, this city's primary school children, | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
from 51 schools no less, are able to complete the last mile | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
The other 12 have been run around school playing fields. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
It seems minutes later and the first child to cross the line | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
is Joe Foster from year six at Trowbridge primary school. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
Amazingly, his sister Mia from year four is the first | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
They were full of praise for each other. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
There was another boy in front of him, but Joe was determined | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
to get in front of him and win the race. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
I am really proud of her because last year she didn't | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
like running far, so she struggled a little bit. | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
But this year, she became the first girl. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Taking part for the first time, children from | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
It's good for us all to get together and for us to be able to participate | :04:34. | :04:53. | |
Winner of the adult half marathon was Jim Cole from Tavistock. | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
And the first woman across the line was Emma Stettin from | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
Great weather for running today - here's Bee with the forecast. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Well, we have a beautiful afternoon across the south-west. | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
Some of the cloud has broken up over the last few hours. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Tonight, generally more cloud will feed in further east. | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
Still the potential for temperatures to get quite low. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
For most of us, just that little bit milder than last night. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Tomorrow I think will be largely dry for most of the day. | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
A lot of cloud starting to push in as we had through the day. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Into the afternoon, the risk of one or two isolated showers. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
I think the bulk of the showers though will come | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
Still relatively mild when you get the brightness. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
One or two spots could hit 15 degrees. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
Much colder air starts to dig down on Tuesday. | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
The risk of one or two northerly showers and frost by night. | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Have a good evening. Goodbye. | :05:51. | :06:01. | |
We had a beautiful day across most of UK today, but there's a taste of | :06:02. | :06:17. | |
winter on the way. Even a little bit of snow. Its forecast for one or two | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
places. This is the forecast tonight. We're watching this cold | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
front, this will line, this weather front. Everything to the north of | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
that line is cold as dreaming straight from the Arctic. -- | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
