A FIRE spread to the roof space of a house near Ross-on-Wye. 

Two fire engines - one from Fownhope and one from Hereford - were called to a property in Brockhampton shortly after 9.10am on Sunday (March 10). 

A fire service spokesperson said the fire in a woodburner had spread to the roof space.

"Crews used a triple extension ladder, chimney rods, working at height gear used and a hose reel to extinguish the fire," he said.

"Roof tiles were removed to check for fire spread and dampening down of hot spots was carried out."
