Instead of dining by candlelight on Valentine's Day, eight firefighters got spicy in a different way by getting covered in cinnamon.

The West Bromwich crew were called to an industrial estate which saw them dig 50kg of cinnamon out of an industrial grinder to get to a fire.

The crew were called at 4.36pm on Valentine's Day and took to Twitter to write a poem about their uniforms being covered in the spice.

West Bromwich Fire tweeted: "Roses are red, violets are blue, I've got cinnamon up my nose.....achoo, achoo, achoo."
