The quick actions of fire crews from Herefordshire (Kington and Kingsland) and Presteigne, prevented a large fire spreading to a number of houses yesterday.
From Kington Fire Station:
“A busy evening last night, helped by both Kingsland fire station and Presteigne Fire Station. Crews were faced with an intense fire which engulfed three outbuildings very close to houses.
“The fire also involved gas cylinders, petrol cans and machinery. The heat was melting the house guttering and broke windows.
“Four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus and using two hosereels stopped the blaze reaching the houses and causing further damage while also extinguishing the fire, which was spread across the rear of three properties. Thanks to everyone for their help and hard work.”
