Firefighters tackled a fire at Ludlow Racecourse last night.
Crews from Ludlow and Craven Arms were called out at just before 11:15pm.
On arrival, crews found a fire had broken out in the kitchen area.
A hose reel jet was used to tackle the fire which left the building heavily smoke logged.
A positive pressure ventilation fan was used to clear smoke logging of the premises.
Due to swift action from both attending crews minimal damage was caused to the kitchen area.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
