A WHITCHURCH fire crew has assisted colleagues from Market Drayton after reports of a fire in Woore on Sunday morning.

One crew from each station was sent to a field in Audlem Road – including the incident support unit – after reports of a manitou on fire in a field, which was classed as a light goods vehicle fire.

A manitou is a mixture of a tractor and fork lift truck/cherry picker and the firefighters have been on the scene since shortly before 11am.
