TWO dogs needed rescuing from a smoke-filled kitchen after Shropshire firefighters were called to a kitchen fire outside Oswestry on Thursday.
Three crews from Oswestry, Baschurch and Shrewsbury were sent to the house fire in Dovaston, near Kinnerley, shortly before 9am.
Firefighter James Lewis said that he and his colleagues had to force entry into the property’s kitchen to save the two dogs from smoke.

A Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) spokesman confirmed the cause of the property fire.
They said: “Crews used two breathing apparatus and one hosereel jet to tackle the fire.
“It was a small fire which was caused by cardboard left on a hob which was out on arrival of crews.”
A stop message was sent to SFRS control at around 9.35am to confirm no further support was needed.
