Crews called to four outdoor blazes within hours

Crews were called out to deal with fires across Shropshire

Fire crews in Shropshire were called to four outdoor fires across the county in the space of just a few hours.

In Wem, a hedge caught fire at about 10:00 BST after a bonfire accidentally spread. Meanwhile, in Telford an area of grass caught alight, but was put out before 11:00, Shropshire Fire and Rescue said.

Three fire engines were then sent to Whitchurch at about 13:00 after a 100m (328ft) hedge caught fire after another bonfire got out of control.

A campfire left unattended in Bridgnorth also led to a fire crew being called out at about 14:20 with the incident safely dealt with by 15:30, the service said.
