A FIRE which started in a Rillington shed spread to three other buildings, a tree and two vehicles.

The fire services were alerted to a shed on fire, on Low Moorgate in Rillington, at 8.40pm last night.

On arrival the crew found that the fire had spread to two small outbuildings, a tree, two tractors and a neighbour's shed.

Firefighters extinguished the blaze using two hose reels, breathing apparatus and a main jet.

They said they believed the fire had been caused by "an electrical fault in a pressure washer".
