FIRE CREWS at a Herefordshire fire station have had a busy couple of days tackling fires.

Peterchurch Fire Station based in the Golden Valley have been called out to two incidents in the space of three days.

On Friday June 27 just after 5pm, a rescue appliance was called to make safe two vehicles following a collision on the B4348 near Vowchurch.

Yesterday (Monday June 30), Peterchurch crews were called to two incidents in the early hours of the morning. A water carrier and appliance were called to a barn fire near Newton St Margarets along with Hereford Fire Station and Ewyas Harold Fire Station crews.

The fire service managed to contain the fire involving agricultural vehicles and bales to one barn with the carrier used to transport over 100,000 litres of water to the incident ground before it was scaled back to just one appliance at 9am.

At 1:30pm, Peterchurch then sent their relief crew to the same barn fire incident to make sure the last of hot spots of fire were extinguished.
