Kenilworth fire crews were this morning called to a huge barn fire near Southam.

Some 300 tonnes of hay and straw were alight, with firefighters from Southam and Leamington also at the scene.

"At 04:50 this morning our Water Carrier was called to support crews from Southam Fire Station and Leamington Fire Station who were attending a barn fire near Southam," a Kenilworth Fire Station statement said.

"Over 300 tonnes of hay and straw are on fire. Kenilworth's Water Carrier is in use shuttling water to the fire ground from nearby water sources.

"The fire service will be in attendance at this incident for some considerable time due to the amount of hay and straw involved in fire."
