It took all Worcester's three fire engines to bring the blaze under control as it raged across 4,500 square metres of parched grassland, some residents fearing the inferno could spread to their homes.

The fire was reported around 7.55pm last night, sending thick black smoke billowing over Worcester and leaving behind a large patch of scorched earth. 

 

 

Now Safer Neighbourhood officer PC Rowan Boyle of West Mercia Police has asked for information identifying this male, pictured with a fire burning behind him.

He said on Twitter: "We believe he may have information in relation to the fire from yesterday at the old Tolladine Golf Course."
