FIRE crews spent two hours fighting a blaze at Hunters Hall in Epping Uplands this afternoon.

A container full of of tyres, paint and rubbish caught fire at about 1.50pm and engines from Epping, Harlow and Ongar attended.

The crews had to shuttle water to and from the remote site, which is close to Warren Smith livestock farm, as they could not connect their hoses nearby.

The fire was extinguished by 4pm.
