Shropshire firefighters need the public's help during this heatwave:
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service attended a field fire near Baschurch
"Wildfires are becoming more common each year. Climate change is also a factor because it means some areas are drier and more likely to set alight." "Wildfires are easily started and can spread rapidly putting people, property and infrastructure at risk. The terrain makes them challenging to firefight and demands large amounts of our resources, as well as from the resources of our partners."
"Wildfires and moorland fires are difficult to contain and can very quickly spread into other areas and cause damage to property and buildings." They used knapsacks and small gear to put out the blaze before sending their incident stop message at 8.02pm.
