According to Shropshire Fire and Rescue when crews arrived at the scene the fire had spread from the shed and had set alight “nearby hedgerows, conifer trees as well as a quad bike that was in the vicinity”.
They said the fire affected 10 metres of hedgerow.
Crews put out the fire and a spokesperson for Shropshire Fire and Rescue confirmed a team will be returning to the scene later this afternoon to check on the situation to make sure it doesn’t reignite.
