Fire crews in Tavistock and Yelverton were called out to a fire at lunchtime in Tavistock convenience store.

The fire under a fridge unit at the post office and convenience store was out on arrival, the fire service reported.

A Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “ We were called to the Post Office on Abbey Place in Tavistock at 1.42pm today to reports that a fire had started under a commercial fridge unit.
