A smoke plume can be seen for miles after a fire erupted on Salisbury Plain.
The blaze can’t be tackled by firefighters because it is located in the impact area, where there is a risk of unexploded munitions, it’s understood.
Smoke was first reported on Tuesday (30 June), but locals have confirmed that smoke is ever heavier today (Friday).
Residents in the Netheravon, Amesbury and Larkhill areas are widely affected, with the blaze located around six miles west of Enford.
An image captured by Webshots Photography showed raging flames at around 10pm yesterday.
‘Salisbury Plain is well and truly on fire’, the photographer said.
Adding: ‘It is inside the ‘impact zone’ which means it cannot be put out due to the risk of unexploded ordnance. This is why Amesbury and surrounding villages are smoked out!’
The MOD has been approached for comment.
