Another lunchtime bonfire at Magnolia Drive, Telford, was extinguished by a Shrewsbury fire crew after a 12.30pm call out with a third bonfire at Doddington, Hopton Wavers at 1.30pm.
At Barn Farm Drive, Arleston, a fire crew from Wellington had to put out a small grass fire.
A tree and undergrowth fire at New Road, Madeley was quickly dealt with by firefighters from Telford while in Shrewsbury a fire caused by dry brash was extinguished by a crew from the town.
