Firefighters are tackling a fire which engulfed a 200 tonne straw sack.

When crews arrived at the scene in Shalford Green at about 9.20pm last night, the straw was completely alight and the fire was affecting hedgerows and the nearby road. 

Crews brought the fire under control and made sure that it was contained before allowing a controlled burn to take place.

Firefighters continued to monitor the fire with one pump relief at 7.15am today.
