A baler and field caught fire on an Exmoor farm on Thursday afternoon (May 18).
Three fire crews were sent to the farm in Old Cleeve near Roadwater to reports of agricultural machinery being involved in a fire.
Two crews from Williton and Minehead and a water carrier from Bridgwater were mobilised at 2.38pm.
On arriving at the farm, they found a baler that was well alight, along with half an acre of field.

Firefighters worked at speed to contain the fire using hose reels, compressed air foam, drag forks and beaters.
During this busy season, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service is reminding farmers to make sure that machinery is cleaned regularly to keep it free from hay, straw, oil and grease in a bid to reduce the incidence of fire.
