A fire has been reported at Xlendi Valley in Gozo.

The fire is said to have started around 4:35pm on Friday, however, its origins are still unknown.

Thankfully, the fire is not close to the residential area but the wind is making the fire spread fast across the shrubby hillside.

Members of the Civil Protection Department and the Fire Brigade immediately arrived on site and are tending to the fire.
