FIREFIGHTERS were called after a hedge was set on fire on fields behind Windsor Drive, Wigginton.
The crew from Huntington used buckets of water to douse the flames while they tried to drive a fire engine closer to the blaze.
The hedgerow and scrubland, which separates farmers' fields, is thought to have been set deliberately alight by youths.
Firefighters put out the fire, which happened at 5.50pm yesterday, using two hose reels. Burnt tree trunks and wood was removed from the site.
