One crew from Ludlow fire station was dispatched to the fire, on the B4364 at Middleton, near Ludlow, at around 8.50pm yesterday.

One bike was on fire and footage captured from a drone by Lucian Enescu shows officers extinguishing the blaze within 40 seconds of the fire engine pulling up.

Watch the drone footage here:

Onlookers can be seen watching as the fire engine approaches, before the firefighters spring into action and turn a hose on the blazing bike – extinguishing the fire in what seems less than 10 seconds.

Police were also in attendance at the scene, along with Shropshire Council.
