Hundreds of people were evacuated from a zoo because of a grass fire on nearby farmland.
Drusillas Park in Sussex said evacuation procedures were put in place and animals were shut away as the fire approached.
A spokeswoman said about 1,500 people had been safely moved out of the zoo and there were no injuries.
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (ESFRS) sent six fire engines to the site at 15:00 BST.
By 20:00 the crews had quashed the flames and left the area.
