FIREFIGHTERS were called after a lift broke down at a charity headquarters in Oswestry.

Traffic was diverted after a crew from Oswestry Fire Station was called to Qube in Oswald Road at around 10.14am to reports of a small fire involving a disabled access lift on ground floor.

Qube manager Laurel Roberts said that the lift had broken down and was "giving off a bad smell".

We called the fire brigade and they have come to disable it," she said.

No one was in the lift when it broke down.

Firefighters used dry powder extinguisher, a hosereel jet, small gear

and a thermal imaging camera during the call-out.
