Firefighters struggle to contain large blaze on Dartmoor

No people or livestock are yet believed to have been harmed, but remote location has made tackling fire difficult

A large fire has broken out on Dartmoor near Tavy Cleave in Devon, a few miles north east of Tavistock.

Devon and Somerset fire and rescue service has deployed five pumps and other units to the area, but has struggled to tackle the fire because its location is difficult to access.
