Ellesmere Fire Station shared the incident in The Terraces, Morda, Oswestry, with pictures on the station’s official social media pages to spread awareness about hot weather dangers.

“[...] Hot conditions for both crews, who worked hard to prevent further escalation.
“Weather warnings have been issued for storms tomorrow, which may lead to localised flooding. Please take care and plan journeys accordingly. Stay safe.”
