FIRE crews battled a blaze at a veterinary clinic near Ross-on-Wye on Monday night.

Ross-on-Wye and Whitchurch firefighters were called to Chase View Veterinary Clinic in Hildersley at around 11.10pm after reports that a one-storey building was on fire.

They used two hosereels, a main jet and a foam jet to put out the fire but said the 15m x 4m building was destroyed.

Carolyn Price, a receptionist at Chase View vets, said the fire was in an outbuilding used for laundry and as a meeting room.

No staff and no animals were inside and there were no injuries.
