Pair taken to hospital after Shropshire camping fire

Two men have been taken to hospital following a camping incident in south Shropshire overnight.

Ambulance crews were called to a woodland location near Bridgend Lane, Bucknell just after 3am.

The two men, both in their thirties, had apparently thrown fire accelerant onto a camp fire which then flared back and set them alight.

They were both treated for serious partial thickness burns. One man received burns to his legs and was taken to Hereford Hospital.

The other was burnt on his hands, arms, chest and lower body and was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
