Firefighters are tackling a forest fire a week after being called to a blaze in the same place.

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service sent 12 appliances to Misbourne Farm, Misbourne Lane, Nutley, at about 8.15pm today.

The fire is in the same area of the Ashdown Forest where fire crews extinguished a blaze which destroyed more than 100 square metres of woodland last week. The fire was believed to have been started deliberately.
