FIREFIGHTERS called to a shed blaze in West Somerset battled to save a nearby home and a boat.
The two crews from Williton Fire Station had the added problem of dealing with a number of gas cylinders in the shed.
The shed was completely destroyed in the fire last week and Williton Fire Station has now published pictures of the devastation caused.

A spokesperson said: "Last week both of our pumps were called out to a 'Property Fire' incident.
"When we arrived at the scene a large shed was well alight, in a close proximity to a residential property and a boat.
"We were also made aware of a couple of old gas cylinders stored inside the shed.
"Unfortunately it was not possible to save the structure or salvage the contents.
"Our priority was to protect the property and boat in the vicinity and ensure the cylinders were cooled immediately and removed as soon as possible."
