Aerial images reveal extensive damage to a farmer's field after a large crop fire occurred during a heatwave on Manor Farm in Hayling Island, Hampshire. Over 50 firefighters fought the blaze, which began at midday on Monday, with smoke prompting around 40 people to call emergency services. The fire, which reignited later in the day, blackened two-thirds of one field and damaged half of an adjacent field. Farmer Harry Walter described the rapid spread of the fire and praised the community's efforts in containing it. He noted the financial impact of losing this year's harvest and mentioned previous fires at the farm, including one likely caused by a cigarette. While no injuries were reported, the incident highlights the risks posed by extreme weather conditions.
