AN INVESTIGATION is being carried out into the cause of a blaze that engulfed a barn at a farm.

Fire fighters rushed to Muthering Lane, Stappleford Abbotts, at 12.30pm yesterday (July 9).

It took four crews almost four hours to control the fire which also damaged a tractor and other farm machinery.

There are no reports of any injuries.

A spokesman for the fire service said the barn was five metres by 30 metres in size.

The cause of the fire is now being investigated.
