Warning after candle sets Craven Arms house on fire
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service have issued a warning to people using candles after a house caught fire in Craven Arms.
Fire crews were sent to reports of a property fire which involved a coffee table at an address in Lambeth Close.
Crews sent two appliances from Church Stretton and Craven Arms to the blaze, which started from a candle on a coffee table.
The fire started at about 10.25am on Thursday morning and crews, including an operations officer, put the fire out in under 10 minutes.
Craven Arms Fire Station's Twitter account posted: "Incident 10.25 we were alerted to a house fire in Craven Arms with Church Stretton and @SFRS_JimBarker @SFRS_Control small fire caused by a candle.
