Firefighters called to tackle burning haystack

Firefighters have tackled a blaze at a farm that spread from a field and sent a large haystack up in flames.

The fire covered several hundred metres of ground in addition to the main haystack, but firefighters confirmed it was brought under control within one hour.

The cause of the fire was unknown and crews worked with the farmer overnight to allow it to burn under control. No injuries were reported.
