Parish councillors were on hand to help firefighters at the scene of a blaze in which two garden sheds were completely destroyed.

Two crews from Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service and Royston Fire Service were called to Beeton Close in Melbourn at 12.45pm on Monday.

A spokesman for Royston Fire Station said: Two sheds were affected, they were completely burnt through.

There was also damage to some personal property, including a gas barbecue, and the fence for three properties was destroyed.

We were at the scene for around an hour and a half.

Cllr Jose Hales, district councillor for Melbourn, Heydon and The Chishills, parish councillor for Melbourn and a former firefighter in London, said he was in the area when he saw the blaze and went over to assist.

He said: I saw the fire at the back of the community car park so went over to the site where the villages new community hub is being built and asked for some metal to secure the broken fence for the house holders.
