These dramatic photos show the intensity of the fire at Lydford-on-Fosse on Friday, and the bravery of the firefighters, including those from Shepton Mallet, who tackled it.

The blaze on Friday afternoon (June 5) was tackled by multiple crews from across the area and these photos, published by Shepton Mallet Nub News with the permission of Rag 'n' Drone Man Photography, show the challenge that faced the firefighters.

Rag 'n' Drone Man "Bealer" said: "A massive huge thanks goes out to all the guys and girls from these crews that came to the rescue.

"Thanks to the wind changing direction and these heroes, they stopped this from being a whole damn sight worse."
