With trenches dug, once green land charred and even unexploded bombs discovered, the aftermath of the fire which ripped through around five hectares of the Studland peninsula has been described as reminiscent of a Second World War scene by visitors. While the fire was fully extinguished on Monday afternoon after three days, areas of Studland cared for by the National Trust were cordoned off and bomb disposal officers called following the discovery of some unexploded ordnances unearthed by the fire. At the height of the incident, there were approximately 90 firefighters tackling the flames. The fire was most likely caused by misuse of a disposable barbecue and campfire. Sean Davies works for the National Trust at Knoll Beach and visited the nearby Studland heath to assess the damage. He decided to take pictures of the aftermath to highlight the consequences of such avoidable fires. He told the Echo: “It was haunting. Firefighters had to dig trenches to stop the flames so now the whole scene looks like something out of the Second World War.
