A WOMAN was given oxygen after a garden shed and several fence panels caught alight in Stourport.

The woman was from one of three homes affected by the fire in Queen’s Road, Stourport on Tuesday, August 30.

She was then checked by paramedics who also treated other residents for the effects of smoke inhalation.

The first of six calls reporting the fire was received by Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (H&WFRS) at 10.45pm and fire crews from Stourport and Kidderminster were sent to the fire.

The fire was under control by midnight and police and fire officers are now investigating how it started.

Watch Commander Len Rees from H&WFRS confirmed the shed and around six fence panels from three adjoining properties were destroyed in the blaze.
