Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said they were called to Poynton Road in Shrewsbury at around 1.50pm on Wednesday following reports of an outdoor fire.

A fire crew from Hodnet attended the scene, and used buckets of water and a knapsack (body-worn extinguisher) to put out the blaze.

A spokesperson for SFRS said the lawnmower was "fully involved in fire" when crews got there, but the blaze was out by 2.10pm.
