Massive gorse fires broke out at two separate areas near the A30 yesterday.
Firefighters said a blaze on Goss Moor near the Iron Bridge was 200m wide and was fanned by high winds in the evening.
Further east and earlier in the afternoon, a gorse fire between Carland Cross and Chiverton Cross covered an estimated six hectares.
Fire crews from St Dennis and St Columb used beaters and a hose reel to extinguish the Goss Moor fire.
A crew from Truro also used beaters and a hose reel to contain the fire further east and the fire was supervised as it burned towards a natural break.
The fire service said crews shuttled water from a nearby hydrant to help douse the flames.
