Fire crews from three Hampshire towns were called to a fire at a farm in East Wellow last week.

Romsey, Totton and Eastleigh crews were called to a fire which had broken out within a grain dryer at a farm in East Wellow.

Crews arrived at the farm to put out the fire at 1.39pm on September 15.

A spokesperson from Hampshire Fire Service Said: “The fire in the dryer unit was tackled using the aerial ladder platform as gas and temperature monitoring took place and the farmer worked to remove the grain that was in the silo.

“Eight sets of breathing apparatus, two hose reels, one jet and a dry powder extinguisher were used to stop the fire before the incident was handed over to the farmer to maintain a watching brief due to the number of hot spots remaining after the machinery was isolated and fuels removed.”

Following a debrief, crews returned to their stations at 5.23pm.

The cause of the fire is unknown.
