FLAMES plumed from the top of a cluster of farm buildings as firefighters battled a ferocious blaze.

Crews, specialised vehicles and water carriers were deployed to the farm last night. A Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service (HIWFRS) statement said: ‘On arrival, firefighters could see flames coming from the top of the buildings and crews worked hard to tackle the blaze.’

Crews from Hightown, St Mary’s, Hamble and Totton attended, with Eastleigh, Southsea, Portchester and Fareham officers providing extra equipment.

‘No one was injured and horses at a nearby yard were moved away from the fire by their owner,’ HIWFRS added. ‘The stop message came in at midnight, with one crew returning later in the morning to conduct a reinspection and check for further hotspots.’ The site will be inspected this morning.
