Firefighters were scrambled to a fire involving a dump truck at a Shropshire holiday park.

Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service sent a crew from Minsterley to Spring Lea Holiday Park at Lea Cross at 3.08pm on Tuesday.

When they arrived they found a dumper truck on fire but firefighters donned breathing kit and used one hose reel jet to put it out.

Just 18 minutes later they sent their incident stop message back to base.
