Firefighters were scrambled to the Co-Operative, in Mill Street, Bridgnorth, at 2.17pm on Saturday to reports of a car fire.

When they got there they found that staff from the co-op had managed to put the fire out.

A spokesman for Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service said: "Fire was extinguished prior to arrival of fire service by co-op staff and car had subsequently driven away."

The fire service confirmed that its team was not required to put the fire out and the car had been driven off.
