A spokesman for Dorchester Fire Station said: "Whilst we have been out dealing with these incidents, our hard-working colleagues from fire control have mobilised crews from Weymouth Fire Station, Bere Regis Fire Station, Bridport Fire Station and Maiden Newton to standby duties at Dorchester to provide fire cover.

"Whilst at Dorchester, they also attended and dealt with several incidents themselves."
