A crew from Telford Central fire station attended the scene in Curriers Lane shortly after midnight.

A couple in the house at the time were unharmed and a Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said the fire was out on arrival but the crew made sure with buckets of water and then spent an hour checking with a thermal image camera to see the premises were safe.
