SOUTH SOMERSET NEWS: Barn fire under investigation

A FIRE which destroyed the contents of a barn at a farm in South Somerset is being treated as suspicious.

Firefighters were called out at 9.30pm last night (Sunday, September 22, 2014) to reports of a farm building on fire in the Tengore Lane area of Langport.

Three fire engines from Somerton and Martock were mobilised immediately along with a water carrier from Bridgwater.

Officers worked throughout the night and were given relief support from crews from Yeovil and Street.

A Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokesman told the Yeovil Press: “The barn, measuring 10m x 10m, was filled with straw. The contents were 100 per cent damaged by fire.”

The spokesman said the cause of the fire was “suspicious” and police were investigating this morning (Monday, September 22, 2014).
