A dramatic photo released by Harrogate Fire Station shows the extent of the damage done in a barn fire near Huby yesterday.
Fire crews from Harrogate and Knaresborough joined two more appliances from West Yorkshire to tackle the fire at about 2pm.
It took place in a barn measuring around 25 metres by 25 metres, containing straw. Firefighters used hose reel jets to put the fire out.
Once the scene was safe, they also took the opportunity to meet a few of the farm’s occupants.
