A team of Sherborne firefighters were called out to attend to a small fire in the woods of Bristol Road.
A member of the public called 999 after spotting smoke in the area and crews from Sherborne First Station arrived at around 4.30pm yesterday afternoon.
It appears that a small campfire was created and, as seen in the video, the fire spread.
The firefighters used a hose reel jet to extinguish the fire.
