The latest incident happened at Spoonhill Farm in Much Wenlock.

The Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said the farm machinery was "fully destroyed" in the blaze.

A spokesman said: "At 6.34pm on Thursday, August 29, SFRS Fire Control received a call reporting a fire classified as 'LGV Fire' in Much Wenlock.

"One baler fully destroyed by fire."

Two fire engines were sent to the scene from Much Wenlock and Telford. Operations and fire investigation officers were in attendance.
