A FARM vehicle on fire prompted Shropshire firefighters to be called out to Prees, near Whitchurch, on Wednesday morning.
Two Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) crews from Hodnet and Market Drayton were sent to Fauls, near Prees, at around 10.10am after reports of the vehicle on fire.
A SFRS spokesman confirmed that firefighters completed the efforts of the farmer who was operating the vehicle to tackle the fire before they arrived.

They said: “Crews used a hosereel jet to tackle the fire.
“It was a small fire in engine compartment of large agricultural vehicle.
“Crews used a hosereel jet to fully extinguish fire following action taken by farmer prior to crews’ arrival.”
A stop message was sent to SFRS control around half an hour later to confirm no further support was required.
