Families had to be evacuated from their homes after a fire tore through a newly-erected 5G tower.

Three fire engines from Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service attended the blaze in Sunbeam Close last night (Monday, April 7).

Resident Dawn Austin said: “We can't thank the fire brigade and police enough.

"We were evacuated from our house near the end of Hunter Street - and it was pretty scary actually. Thank goodness it wasn't a windy night or raining. They arranged for us to stay at the community centre in Sun Street and let us know what was going on. Really grateful to them all.”

Police are now appealing for witnesses.
