On arrival, crews found one barn alight, containing livestock and approximately 100 tonnes of straw. A further two fire engines were mobilised from Corsham and Frome (Devon & Somerset FRS) along with a support appliance from Devizes. A specialist animal rescue team from Stratton was also requested.
