Firefighters were called to action after a report of a wheelie bin.

The crew from Carlisle East Station rushed to Margery Street, just off Greystone Road at about 6.15pm.

A spokesman for the station said: "When we arrived we found a wheelie bin well alight, we used a hose reel jet to extinguish the fire.

"We have had a number of this type of fire in recent weeks, they're a real risk."
