Several fire crews have spent hours tackling a large wildfire on Long Mynd in Shropshire.

The incident occurred on Tuesday evening and into the early hours of Wednesday morning.

From Church Stretton Fire Station:

“Church Stretton Fire Station crew currently dealing with a fire on the Long Mynd at High Park.

“All personnel working hard beating the fire out to stop any further spread due to the wind pushing the fire further on top of the Long Mynd.

“Had to make up for extra water and pumps so were then assisted by neighbouring stations from Craven Arms and Ludlow.”
