Crews called to four outdoor blazes within hours

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.
