FIREFIGHTERS were called after an industrial fryer at a Hereford fast food restaurant went on fire this afternoon.

Three crews were called to a building on Commercial Road - though the exact location has not been specified - at around 1.40pm following reports of smoke coming from a shop.

The fire was located on the ground floor of the premises in an industrial fryer.

Crews used breathing apparatus, a hose reel jet and C02 extinguisher to put out the flames.
