A popular Mole Valley tourist spot was under threat of destruction after two stray fireworks from a nearby display started fires.

Firefighters from Dorking and Crawley raced to Box Hill on Friday evening to put out two blazes caused by the fireworks.

Eyewitness Scot Hubbard, of London Road, Box Hill, said: "After the last firework went off me and my partner looked up and saw a fire up on Box Hill.

"The fire was pretty intense and I would say it was the size of quarter of a football pitch.

"I was really worried that the fire would spread and if there had been a strong breeze I have no doubts it would have been a lot worse."
