A spokesman for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said: "Crews used two hose reel jets, a main jet and a water carrier to carry out water relay from a hydrant to the scene.

"The fire was eventually extinguished using the above equipment and another main jet.  The fire destroyed a number of hay bales within the barn but luckily didn't affect the building itself."
