FIRE crews in Kidderminster tackled an unattended bonfire in Wolverley last night, less than an hour after being called out to a settee on fire in a back garden.

Emergency services were alerted to smoke in Eddy Road in Kidderminster at 8.45pm on Saturday night (June 24) and dispatched a fire engine to the scene.

On arrival, firefighters found a settee 'well alight' in a rear garden and used a hose reel jet to put out the flames.

At 9.41pm, Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service received a call about a fire in the open on Sladd Lane in Wolverley.

A bonfire had been left unattended and had spread across five square metres of land.

The blaze was also described as 'well alight' and was extinguished using a hose reel jet.

No one was reported injured in either incidents.
