FIREFIGHTERS have been working round the clock to contain and push back the Swinley Forest fires.

The News' photographer Mike Swift joined them to how they are tackling the blazes that took hold on Monday through using water hoses, stirring up the peat to release the heat and creating fire breaks.

His photos can be seen in out photo galleries section: http://www.bracknellnews.co.uk/photogalleries/ The emergency services have urged members of the public to stay away from the fires because of their unpredictability.
