Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service crews have joined Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service crews and Mid & West Wales Fire and Rescue Service crews at a huge fire involving scrap near Clun in Shropshire.
A spokesperson for Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said:
!At 2053 last night, Clun crews were mobilised to a fire at Five Turnings. En route to the incident, large smoke plumes could be seen from several miles away. This incident was a fire involving scrap at a commercial yard.
“Fire crews worked swiftly with the help of the occupiers to tackle the blaze and stop it spreading further to the surrounding area and buildings.
“This incident required the assistance of our colleagues from across the county, plus firefighters from over the border in Mid and West Wales and Hereford and Worcester.
“Please be aware that this incident is still ongoing, so the road is likely to be closed. Also, due to the large amount of smoke in the area, we would advise nearby residents to keep their windows closed.”
