Description: We were called with reports of an agricultural fire, and three crews were mobilised, from Westbury, Warminster and Trowbridge along with the water carrier from Wilton. On arrival, crews found one barn alight, containing livestock and approximately 100 tonnes of straw. A further two fire engines were mobilised from Corsham and Frome (Devon & Somerset FRS) along with a support appliance from Devizes. A specialist animal rescue team from Stratton was also requested. The fire was extinguished using hose reel jets, and the cattle have been moved to safety.
