Crews from Rushen and Castletown called out on Thursday
Fire crews from Rushen and Castletown stations were called out to Earystane yesterday after 30m of hedgerow caught alight.
The blaze, close to a property in Colby, was caused by a stray ember from a garden brazier shortly before 4:30pm.
Officers say they were able to quickly contain and extinguish the fire.
They've issued a reminder for anyone lighting fires to keep them away from structures, fences and hedges, and to have a bucket of water or hosepipe nearby.
We're also advised not to leave a fire unattended and to never start one during windy conditions.
