Fire crews scrambled to 'serious' blaze at disused factory in Telford
Fire crews rushed to attend a "serious fire" at a disused factory on an industrial estate in Telford.
Four crews were sent to tackle the blaze that broke out just before 11.30am on Hadley Park Industrial Estate on Tuesday.
Crews from Shrewsbury, Telford and Wellington attended the scene at Hadley Park East, which involved a building that was in the process of being demolished.
In a tweet, Shropshire Fire and Rescue said: "We are dealing with a serious fire at Hadley Industrial Estate in Telford."
A spokesperson for Shropshire Fire and Rescue later said the incident "involved cladding between the internal and external sheets of a factory".
They confirmed the building was empty, disused and was in line for demolition.
Due to smoke in the air, the service advised residents to close their windows and doors while they attended to the fire, which was under control by 1.19pm.
Photos shared by the service show substantial damage to a large warehouse building.
The West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed its crews were not sent to the fire.
