Fire in an agricultural building

Crews were called to a farm in High Easter Road, Barnston, this morning (Sunday) after reports of a building fire. 

On arrival firefighters reported that an agricultural building, measuring around 20m x 25m was completely smoke logged and there was a small fire in the corner.

Watch Manager Mark Nevill, Leaden Roding Fire Station, said:

"I'd like to thank the farmer and farm staff for their assistance and teamwork. 

"Our firefighters did a fantastic job of limiting the fire spread and ultimately saved the structure of the building."

Officers will now carry out a full investigation into the cause of the fire.
