She said: “It was a fairly big fire and spooked my dog to the point of him slipping out of his collar.
“I thought it was best to report it and I don’t get signal on the beach so was rushing to climb the steps to the Esplanade to make a call.
“I think it was a bin as I heard glass cracking/breaking.”
