TOWN EVACUATED AS FOREST FIRES APPROACH

The people of Sawston were evacuated yesterday as forest fires headed towards the
town. Such the heat was of the oncoming inferno that trees more than 100 metres ahead
began to smoulder. Only once in recent years, during 1994, a town of this size has had to
be evacuated because of forest fires. A fleet of coaches and lorries arrived in the town in
the early morning. Into these vehicles the sick and elderly climbed, before they headed off
to safety across the river. Residents with cars were ordered to leave by mid morning. Later
in the day, as the wind changed direction and it became clear that the fire would leave
Sawston untouched, were heard complaints from some residents. "At no time the fires
posed a real threat," said one local man. "I didn't want to leave my home, and nor most of
my neighbours did." But Chief Fire Officer Jones replied, "Hadn't we taken this action, lives
would have been put at risk. Only when the fires have moved well away from the town
residents will be allowed to return to their homes."
