"You could see a lot of them were near the fire because there was black on their chests so they were very close to it. A lot of them were distressed unfortunately."
Lynn Sabberton, a resident, who said she was evacuated from her home with her partner who has a lung difficulty, told Sky News: "We thought it was one of the fields that caught alight over the back of us.
"But then a neighbour rang me and said, 'oh no, it's on the green, the green has caught fire'."
The fire 'spread so quickly'
Ms Sabberton continued: "I saw the black smoke and the helicopters came over and more police came into our neighbourhood and it was really spreading very fast.
"It just spread so quickly, I think the wind caused the fire to go our way towards the village."
She said she believed her home was "safe at the moment" but her husband's condition was "not very good" as he did not have time to bring his inhaler with him.
An elderly woman was seen crying hysterically saying: "Oh my God - the house is gone", while her family tried to comfort her.
Another resident, 70-year-old Janet Hickey, who has terminal pancreatic cancer, said she was forced to leave all her cancer drugs behind as she and her partner were evacuated.
She said: "I've got all my cancer drugs in the fridge", adding the pair are feeling "devastated".
Her husband Patrick Hickey, 71, said: "We had to leave everything. We're hoping against hope that our house is still there."
It has been the hottest day on record in the UK, with provisional Met Office figures showing the temperature hit 40.3C (104.54F) in the village of Coningsby in Lincolnshire, beating the previous record of 38.7C (101.66F) registered in Cambridge three years ago.
At least 34 weather monitoring stations have exceeded the old UK record, and five have equalled it.
Scotland also provisionally recorded its highest-ever temperature on Tuesday.
It hit 34.8C (94.6F) in Charterhall in the Scottish Borders, beating the previous record of 32.9C (91.2F) recorded in Greycrook in August 2003.
