A BLAZE engulfed 15 trees at a garden nursery in High Legh on Thursday.

Firefighters from Knutsford and Stockton Heath stations arrived at the Hobbs Hill nursery at around 2pm when the 20ft conifers were already well alight.

An additional pump was required at the fire to supply more water and crews remained at the scene to damp down the area.

It is not yet known how the fire started.
