A FIRE in a biomass boiler was tackled by five fire crews from two counties.

Appliances from Ledbury, Worcester, Upton, Malvern and Bromyard were called to Castle Frome, near to Church House, just before 3pm on Sunday.

The fire involved 40 tonnes of biomass material in a single storey building.

Crews removed the biomass material from the machinery and damped the area down.

They left the scene at around 10pm.
