Early hours fire engulfs seven lorries and tractor

An investigation is under way after seven lorries and a tractor were engulfed in flames on an industrial estate in Shropshire.

Fire crews were called to Rednal Industrial Estate in Oswestry at about 04:45 GMT.

Six fire engines from Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) were sent to the scene.

There were no casualties, SFRS said, and the cause of the blaze is not yet known.

In a post on X Craig Jackson, from the fire service, said crews' initial actions prevented the fire from spreading to a nearby building.

Teams were mobilised from Baschurch, Ellesmere, Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Telford.

SFRS said two engines remained on-scene damping down and checking for hot spots.

It added that police were aware of the incident.

The BBC has contacted West Mercia Police for comment.
