A FIRE ripped through a garden workshop in Leominster this morning.

Firefighters from Leominster and Kingsland were called to a workshop in a rear garden on Broad Street at around 6am.

The workshop contained woodwork and machinery and crews used two breathing apparatus, a main jet and two hose reels to extinguish the flames.

They left the site at around 8am, though a re-inspection is expected to take place later today.
