Crews received reports of an extractor fan smoking.

The SRFS incident log reports there was a "small fire" in the property's bathroom involving the extractor fan, that was out upon the arrival of crews.

Firefighters carried out an inspection of the property including the loft space, using a dewalt saw, small gear and a thermal imaging camera.

A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "We were called to reports of a property fire on Quarry Road in Broseley at 11.30pm and sent an ambulance to the scene. On arrival, crews found one man requiring assessment. He was treated for possible smoke inhalation but did not wish to go to hospital so was given self-care advice and discharged at the scene."
