The blaze which happened at 1.40am in Wooferton and two fire crews from Ludlow were quickly at the scene amid fears that an overhead power cable may have been responsible.

However a spokesman for Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said that Western Power workers established that there was no fault with the line.

West Mercia Police say they are treating two of the vehicle fires as arson.

The fire was brought under control in just over an hour and there are no reported injuries.
