The next call came in at 7.45pm when a fire crew from Christchurch were sent to reports of a fire in the grass on Boscombe Overcliff Drive.
On arrival this was found to be an attended barbecue and fire safety was given - crews left at 8.01pm.
Later, three fire crews from Westbourne, Redhill and Poole attended a fire on the heath at Alder Hills at 8.01pm.
After investigating the area where the fire was reported, it was found to be a false alarm due to someone using a camping stove.

The crew extinguished a bin fire at the Quay and were back on the road by midnight.

On arrival the crew found it was caused by fumes from a generator and left at 1.53am.
Finally, two people were rescued from a lift on Holdenhurst Road at 1.54am by crew from Springbourne fire station.
The crew were in attendance within 60-seconds of Control taking the 999 call.
