Two fire crews extinguished a blaze at the Valley Sawmills site in Holwell this afternoon.

At about 12.45pm, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service was called to a report of a fire at Valley Sawmills.

Crews from Frome and Shepton Mallet attended this incident along with supporting officers. On arrival crews confirmed this was a single storey building measuring 20 metres by 30 metres used as a saw mill.
