Three crews from Humberside Fire and Rescue Service were initially sent in to deal with the barn fire just off the A165 at Ganstead, East Yorkshire.

A fourth engine from East Hull was later dispatched to help bring the fire under control.

A spokesman said the barns were being used to store straw bales.

The number of crews at the site was reduced at around 9pm but some firefighters remained at the scene overnight.
