Multiple fire crews called to barn blaze at Kirkby Malzeard
Crews from four fire stations were called to Kirkby Malzeard last night to deal with a fire in a barn containing hay bales.
Firefighters from Ripon, Bedale, Lofthouse and a water bowser from Boroughbridge rushed to a farm at Ringbeck Road at 6.11pm.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident report said:
"Crews worked to protect surrounding buildings and to extinguish the fire.
"The farmer assisted with a tractor in turning the bales over as crews battled with a changeable wind to extinguish the fire.
"The fire resulted in 100% damage to approximately 85 hay bales and also fire damage to the roof of the barn."
