The Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said it sent to crews to Weston Rhyn at around 7.50pm on Saturday to reports of a fire.

A spokesperson for SFRS said a chimney had been set alight due to "being blocked by a birds nest".

After using chimney rods and a short extension ladder fire crews were able to put out the blaze.
