Sark declares major incident after fire

A major incident has been declared after a large fire broke out on Little Sark.

Fire crews and residents have been tackling the blaze, off the Channel Island of Guernsey, for more than four hours.

The fire service confirmed it was restricted to cliff land and no properties had currently been affected.

Kevin Adams, chief fire officer at Sark Fire and Rescue Service, said it was the largest fire he had ever seen in Sark and that a "massive plume of white smoke" could be seen coming from the island.
