An investigation into a barn fire in West Felton has been confirmed as accidental. 

Fire crews were called to tackle a barn fire in Rednal on Tuesday, December 18

Three fire appliances, including the light pumping unit and water carrier, from Oswestry, Ellesmere, Baschurch and Shrewsbury were called just before 11.30pm on Tuesday night to the fire which involved one barn containing a large quantity of straw and agricultural machinery.

Crews used a hosereel jet, main jet, open water supply and a thermal imaging camera to put out the blaze.

The fire crews advised local residents to keep doors and windows closed during the fire because of the large amount of smoke from the incident.

The incident was under control just before 2am.
