Firefighters from across South Devon tackled a barn fire at Churchstow, near Kingsbridge. Crews from Kingsbridge, Modbury and Salcombe and a water carrier from Torquay were sent to the blaze at Higher Hatch at 7.20am on Saturday. The barn, containing farm machinery, was well alight when fire engines arrived. Officers used two hose reel jets and compressed air foam jet to douse the fire. An environmental health officer was also called in because of the presence of asbestos.
