A spokesman for Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) confirmed that the telehandler was half on fire.
They said: “Crews used breathing apparatus and a hosereel jet on one Manitou agricultural telehandler was 50 per cent on fire.”
A stop message was sent to SFRS control around 30 minutes after the incident to confirm that no further support was needed.
