Fire crew called to Bath Row, Stamford

Firefighters put out a fire in a skip close to Stamford Meadows this lunchtime (Sunday, August 2).

The crew from Stamford was called out to Bath Row at about 1pm because the contents of the skip - including cardboard boxes and bin bags of rubbish - was alight.

Lincolnshire Firefighters issued a reminder this weekend for people to take care when extinguishing cigarettes because of the recent hot, dry weather.

Stamford firefighters worked alongside crews from Corby Glen and Grantham just before 6am yesterday (Saturday, August 1) on the A1 at Stretton after Ford C-Max car caught fire.

Fence panels were also damaged in the blaze.
