The fire had started under the barn floor and involved no straw bales.

Crews used one hose reel jet and a water shuttle to extinguish the fire.

The barn is used to house animals but fortunately the fire was extinguished before too much damage was caused. There are

no reports of animals being hurt.

Fire crews used a thermal imaging camera and spent time cutting away and damping down to ensure the fire would not reignite.
