One image showed an old car lying on its side with its roof sliced off by a piece of kit while others showed firefighters at work at the Shropshire Fire and Rescue Training Centre in Telford.

"We had a road traffic collision practical session at Shropshire Fire and Rescue Training Centre where we can practice using our wide variety of tools and equipment on a variety of donated vehicles."

They added wryly: "Tonight it was this old Citroen's turn to have a trim off the top."
