A SHED caught fire last night (July 28) in a Somerset village.

Crews from Bridgwater and Burnham-on-Sea attended the fire in Pawlett, near Bridgwater, at around 9pm.

The shed was completely damaged by the fire.

"Firefighters used a main 45mm jet, a compressed air foam jet and one hose reel jet to extinguish a fire within a woodshed 14m x14m," said a spokesperson for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue.

"The building was around three meters away from the main property.

"The fire involved wood and metal containers in a building of wooden construction and the fire spread to the fascias and gutters of single storey extension."
