Firefighters used a fan to accelerate the fire. Pictures: Bedminster Fire Station
A major barn fire broke near Bath on Sunday (August 21) afternoon.
The barn on a farm in Clutton in the Chew Valley was storing hay and farm machinery.
Fire crews from Bedminster, Temple, Hicks Gate, Paulton and Radstock were called at 3.14pm.
On arrival, they found the large barn well alight.
Since the barn could not be saved, firefighters used a positive pressure ventilation fan to accelerate and control the burn.
The barn, hay and tractor were destroyed in the fire.
Police officers also attended the incident.
