“En route to the incident fire control mobilised a third appliance due to the number of repeat calls being received,” said a spokesperson for Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service.
They said that on arrival, four firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used hose reel jets to tackle the fire.
