Crews are on scene from Wareham, Dorchester (x2) and Poole, together with small 4x4 appliances from Poole and Swanage, a water carrier from Poole and the Unimog from Wareham. Multiple hose reel jets are in use, and the fire has now been surrounded. Smoke from this incident is visible from as far away as Weymouth and Dorchester.
