FIRE crews on four fire engines, a command unit and a water carrier have been tackling a barn fire this morning (Saturday).

They were called to the incident in Southwick Road, Mark, at 2.13am.

A tractor was removed from the building before firefighters got to work with two main jets and a compressed air foam jet.

The barn contained 500 bales of hay.

The incident has now been scaled down.

We'll bring you more details as and when we get them.
