Fire in Crystal Palace Park? (yes another one!)

Post by Special Agent »

I noticed loads of smoke coming from the fishing lake/lower area of the park at about 7.30pm this evening from Crystal Palace Park Road.

I've just got in from taking my dog for a walk and there was a fireman standing by a stand pipe by the fisherman's gate, then two fire engines came out of the park and drove off leaving the hose attached to the stand pipe before I could ask them what had happened!

Did anyone see what happened?

Update!

Just found out it was a load of bales of hay that were on fire last night beside the edge of the field where the football tent is. There were 2 fire engines there this morning at 7am as it was still smouldering.

Looks like it was quite big in area but at least it wasn't any of the buildings.
