Embers from a bonfire are believed to have set light to a greenhouse and fence in Telford.

The blaze in Wellington started just after 11.20pm last night.

The owners of the greenhouse in Haygate Road called the fire brigade when they spotted flames.
A crew from Wellington used a hose reel jet to put out the fire by 11.45pm.
Watch manager Stephen Godfrey said: "The occupiers were aware of the fire and they called us.
"We turned up and put it out within minutes. It wasn't a big fire. The greenhouse and one fence panel was damaged.
"We don't think it was a deliberate ignition but possibly caused by embers from a previous bonfire."
