A crew from Kenilworth Fire Station was called to the fire in woods off Stoneleigh Road at around 10pm. The caller believed it may have been a car on fire.

On arrival, the firefighters discovered an out of control bonfire, and were able to put it out by midnight.

A Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman advised any lighting a bonfire to always stay with it and have things to extinguish the fire with in case it gets too large.
