Four minutes later, four fire crews from Shrewsbury, Wellington and Wem attended a second fire in Monkmoor, this time in the Judith Butts area.

Fire fighters spent over an hour dealing with the incident.

Meanwhile, fire crews were called to deal with a bonfire that had been started by youths in Telford.

Shropshire Fire and Rescue crews from Telford were called to an area of Leegomery at 5.21pm on Saturday evening.

The fire was an unorganised bonfire that was lit by youths.

Crews spent an hour and a half putting out the fire before leaving the scene.
