Every Bank Holiday weekend sees visitors flock to Macc Forest for some refuge in nature.

But this weekend saw nature showing its fiercer side as a fire began in the north of Macclesfield Forest.

At 18:12pm on Sunday 7 May, while many of us were settling down to watch the Coronation Concert, Cheshire Fire and Rescue attended Macclesfield Forest to extinguish a fire.

The Charity Lane blaze saw a crew of one fire engine use a water backpack to extinguish a small fire involving a small amount of rubbish and debris.
