A shed fire is believed to have sparked two other fires on a single street in Thames this afternoon.
Firefighters have managed to contain all three of the fires, with up to six appliances on Grey St from when the shed first caught alight shortly before 4pm.
The shed was "quite well involved" when firefighters arrived, Fire Service northern communications shift manager Tania Matthews said.
It is believed to have been "severely damaged" and embers from the fire may have been responsible for sparking other blazes.
The second was a small fire outside the Campbell Tube Products building at 201 Grey St, which started about 4.20pm.
