Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service were called at 4:57am to deal with the incident, where they received support from West Midlands Fire Service and Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service.

Ten fire engines were deployed to the scene where two aerial ladder platforms were used to limit the spread of the flames before putting pockets of fire out.

No injuries were sustained as a result of the fire.
