Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service have been fighting a large hay bale fire in Widworthy yesterday (Monday, July 17).
Crews from Axminster, Honiton, Seaton, Sidmouth and Danes Castle in Exeter were called at around midday, to find a large agricultural building containing a large number of hay bales.
A spokesman for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said: "Crews used two hose reel jets, a main jet and a water carrier to carry out water relay from a hydrant to the scene.
"The fire was eventually extinguished using the above equipment and another main jet. The fire destroyed a number of hay bales within the barn but luckily didn't affect the building itself."
