Sad to report a house fire occurred yesterday evening (Saturday, 3rd December 2016) – apparently in Wyre Close, Walsall Wood.

West Midlands Fire Service and local police were on the scene of the fire within minutes, and crews from Aldridge Red Watch attended. The house was empty at the time, with the occupants out, so thankfully nobody was hurt.

An eyewitness praised the actions of both police and fire service for their levels of professionalism and care.

My sympathies to all concerned, and thanks to West Midlands Fire Service for keeping us safe.
