Three fire engines attended the scene and fire crews were seen damping down the ground around the homes at Petit Port to stop the fire spreading.

The cause is under investigation, however recent hot weather is thought to have played a part in how quickly the fire spread.

Crew Commander Le Maistre said: "Due to the current spell of dry weather that we have experienced, and more forecast, it is important that members of the public take care when disposing of any hot materials."
