FIREFIGHTERS raced to a huge fire at an Oxfordshire farm yesterday.
Bicester and Banbury crews were first at the scene of a 'well-developed' fire in Middleton Stoney in the afternoon.
The fire started on the ground floor but was spreading to the first floor and ceiling when they arrived.
The teams, wearing specialist breathing equipment, used a thermal image camera to extinguish the fire with hosereels.
Writing on Facebook Oxfordshire Fire and Resuce Service shared pictures of the building, which has been left completely gutted from the fire.
They wrote: "After an investigation the cause of the fire was deemed to be accidental.
"Please remember to test your smoke alarms once a week to make sure they’re working- the earlier a fire is detected the better chance we have of minimising the damage it can do."
