Hay bales on fire in a barn were extinguished by firefighters working together with a farmer.

Crews including a team from Beaminster were alerted to the barn fire at Clapton, near Crewkerne, Somerset yesterday.

A spokesman for Beaminster Fire Station said crews from Crewkerne were also at the scene - while water was supplied by a water carrier from Yeovil Fire Station.

The spokesman said: "Crews were faced with hay bales on fire within a barn. The fire was extinguished using two hose reel jets and removal using farm machinery."
