Shropshire Fire and Rescue were alerted to a barn fire at Chatwell at around 11am on Tuesday.
On the scene, station manager Jim Barker said:"We're currently in attendance at Chatwell, near Church Stretton.
"One of the farm barns, an old stone barn, has been involved in fire. Crews are busy, working to extinguish the fire inside the barn. "We've currently got crews from Church Stretton, Craven Arms, Much Wenlock and Bridgnorth working on the fire. "The fire has pretty much been surrounded now, but some of the challenges we've been facing is that the building is unstable due to the fire. We can't enter the building so we're having to fight the fire from outside."We're likely to be on scene for another couple of hours, reduced down to maybe one pump for a watch and brief until we're sure the fire is completely extinguished.
