TWO large barns have been badly damaged in a fire between Porlock and Minehead.
Up to 700 tonnes of hay and straw, along with two tractors and another farm vehicle, were involved in the blaze at Wilmersham Farm in Luccombe.
Fire crews were called to the scene just after 3am today (October 16) following reports of an orange glow in the night sky.
At least four fire engines and specialist officers have been called in to tackle the blaze, which was still smouldering at 7.25am.
Crews remained on the scene at 8.15am on Tuesday and a fire investigation to establish the cause of the blaze was due to begin at 9am.
