A Fenland farm has been destroyed overnight after a large blaze swept through the site during the early hours of July 18.

Dozens of firefighters were called to the farm on Rummers Lane in Wisbech St Mary at around midnight after the fire broke out.

Crews arrived to find the fire had already spread across three large barns and 100 tonnes of straw - there was no one injured in the blaze and everyone was accounted for.

Dramatic video footage shows four fire engines and three specialist vehicles - including an aerial fire fighting appliance - tackling the tricky flames.

Firefighters battled back the fire for hours before it scaled down at around 7.30am when just 30 tonnes of straw were still alight.
