Firefighters were called to tackle a blaze at a GP surgery in North Herefordshire.

Crews from Ledbury, Malvern and Fownhope were called to the Market Surgery at 7:45am on Tuesday.

A spokesperson for Ledbury Fire Station said: "We arrived to find a smoke logged building and committed two breathing apparatus wearers to find and extinguish the fire," the spokesperson said.

"The cause of the fire was located and removed from the property. Fire damage was cut away and the building checked with a thermal image camera. Thankfully nobody was injured."

"Huge thanks to the amazingly kind lady from the Shaw Healthcare kitchen who was kind enough to supply us with a much appreciated cup of tea."
