These are the charred remains of a beach hut where an enormous fire that spread up a hill overlooking a beach started. The dramatic blaze that spread across the cliffs on Bournemouth's seafront was caused by a cooking accident, the fire service has said.
The fire, on West Undercliff, affected three beach huts and spread over around 100 metres of heath on the cliff face on Monday afternoon.
Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service was called at 3.51pm and it took multiple crews and a helicopter to bring the blaze under control.
