The barn fire. Picture: Axminster Fire Station
A barn full of hay on a farm near Dalwood caught fire yesterday morning (September 21).
At 6.10am crews from Danes Castle, Axminster and Colyton were mobilised.
A telehandler moved around 200 large hay bales from the barn to prevent them catching alight.
