The fire underway. Pictures: St Columb Major Community Fire Station
A huge fire engulfed a tractor, the barn it was in and the hay and straw being stored in St Columb Major on Monday night (October 19).
At just before half past six an appliance was sent to the farm opposite the Trekenning business park from St Columb Major fire station.
After receiving multiple calls reporting that the tractor was within a barn with hay and straw, two more vehicles were sent from St Columb Major and Newquay.

Once the incident was assessed two more appliances were called from St Dennis and Newquay to supplement water supplies.
Just half an hour later the fire had been extinguished.
The crews continued to dampen down hot spots.
