Six fire engines have been called in to tackle a fire in a North Yorkshire village.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service say they were called out at 6.22pm last night after reports of a fire in Middleton, near Pickering.
A spokesman for the service said: "Crews from Malton, Helmsley, Sherburn and Scarborough along with water bowsers from Tadcaster and Boroughbridge attended a fire to a barn adjoining two further barns and adjacent to residential property.
"Crews created a water curtain to protect adjacent properties whilst they fought the fire to the barn using hose reel jets."
