Road partially blocked by fire crews as blaze breaks out at house

A fire broke out at a house in Wigmore, near the Shropshire border, prompting an emergency response with part of the road blocked. Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service said crews were called at 1.50pm on Saturday, November 7, after reports of the blaze. Engines were dispatched from Leintwardine, Kingsland and Leominster to Ford Street. A spokesperson reported the road was “restricted” because fire engines had congested the area while firefighters tackled the fire. The service added that the fire had been put out and that there were no reported casualties.
