Six fire crews from Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service were called to a house fire in Fownhope last night.

Two crews from Hereford, two from Ross and one each from Fownhope and Ewyas Harold were called at 03:18 to a house in the village where a fire in the roof space had spread to an adjoining property.

All residents were able to leave the properties safely.

“This incident was attended by many of crews and officers who have been at Kidderminster in last few days,” said Chief Fire Officer Jon Pryce. “Superb efforts and commitment, thank you.”
