The Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that one engine was dispatched from the local station to the fire on the B2401 just before 6pm on Monday, October 18.

The fire was caused by a horsebox which had overheating brakes, and the crew turned the hosereel jet on the brakes to cool them.

The crew was only required for around a quarter of an hour and a stop message was received around 6.10pm.
