Firefighters tackle Hungerford farm blaze





Two pumps from Berkshire and two from Wiltshire were called to New Hayward Farm at 9.03am after a fire broke out in a farm building, described as the game keeper's shed, containing farm equipment and a diesel tank.
A spokeswoman for the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, Nicole Targett, said that crews had dealt with the fire pretty quickly and were damping down the barn by 9.39am.
She added that around 30 per cent of the farm machinery had been affected by the fire, while the entire barn had been damaged by smoke.
The cause of the fire is currently being investigated.
