A SMOKING tumble dryer in north Shropshire was enough for firefighters to be called out on Monday evening.

One crew from Baschurch was joined by colleagues from Shrewsbury at a property in Great Ness at around 7.45pm.

However, upon arrival, both crews found that no action had to be taken as the smoke had been cleared.
