POLICE have had no major breakthroughs in the investigation into the huge blaze which destroyed three hectares of would-be hay last weekend.
The fire tore across an open field off Reigate Road, Dorking, in the dry heat last Sunday afternoon.
Plumes of smoke billowed into the air and witnesses on nearby Box Hill watched as smoke and flames whipped across the field below them.
Crews from Reigate and Dorking fire stations battled for an hour before finally bringing the fire under control at about 5pm.
No one was injured and no property damaged by the blaze but police officers are investigating.
Speaking last week, investigating officer Detective Constable Ian Cherrington, said: "At this stage in the investigation we can't say for sure that the fire was started as a result of a deliberate act and we are doing all we can to fully ascertain the circumstances surrounding it.
"It is believed that there were several young people in the vicinity at the time of the fire, thankfully they weren't hurt but I would urge any parents who think their child may have been in this area on Sunday to contact detectives."
Anyone who can assist with the investigation is urged to contact Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference MV/13/2568.
