IT was a busy evening for firefighters in Herefordshire yesterday, as crews across the county were called out to a variety of incidents.
Crews from Leominster, Kingsland and Eardisley fire stations were called to a house fire in Dilwyn at 7.43pm last night (August 25).
A fire service spokesperson said three breathing apparatus teams worked quickly to put out the well established blaze and expose any remaining hot spots.
