FIREFIGHTERS wer called to a blaze involving 60 tonnes of straw.
Four crews from Clacton, Colchester and Manningtree attended the fire in Fox Street, Ardleigh just after 2.30pm on Sunday.
To put out the fire, officers surrounded the stack to stop it spreading and worked hard to separate the straw which was on fire and the parts which were unaffected.
They will monitor the stack until the fire is out.
