A large fire broke out on the hillside west of Park Avenue near Devonport Park and the Torpoint-Devonport Ferry terminal in Plymouth. Fire crews attended while the cause and nature of the blaze remained unclear. Park Avenue was closed in both directions between the B3396 and Fore Street, but the road reportedly reopened later in the evening; reports indicated the fire had not spread across Park Avenue into the main part of Devonport Park.
