Swinley Forest fire fight 'scaled down'

Help

Fire crews are scaling down operations and preparing to leave the scene of a forest fire in Berkshire - the largest blaze in the county's history.

More than a dozen families have returned home and all but one road around the forest has been reopened following the fire which started on 2 May.

Berkshire Fire and Rescue said there was a risk remaining hot spots could flare up, but it hoped to hand the land back to forest management on Tuesday.
