Fire crews from across Somerset tackled a huge blaze on the outskirts of Burnham-On-Sea in the early hours of Sunday (September 24th).
The fire service received numerous calls from the public at 1am alerting them to a fire at Church Road in East Huntspill. On arrival, they found two large five-bay barns, containing 250 tons of hay, well alight.
Crews from Burnham, Bridgwater, Cheddar, Taunton and Street rushed to the scene, together with specialist appliances from Street and Bridgwater.
A spokesman told Burnham-On-sea.com: “Crews used five main jets and a water wall to protect surrounding properties while the contents were allowed to burn out.”
He added that the barns had been severely damaged by fire and that the cause was “suspicious.” Investigations are continuing.
