Susan Hill took to the Daily Echo Hampshire Camera Club to share her pictures of the firefighters at work.
It showed crews filling buckets in the lake and carefully walking across a stick dam to reach the island.
She said: “The fire was still smouldering, so they used buckets of water to dampen it down, and the warden was using a pickaxe to dig down to make sure it had gone out completely.”
