Firefighters are investigating the cause of a barn blaze near Wantage last night.

At 5.15pm, fire crews from Bampton and Wantage were called to Sandy Lane, Hatford, outside Stanford in the Vale, after a barn containing 30 tonnes of straw caught fire.

The roof of the barn collapsed, but no-one was hurt in the incident.

Fire investigators are now trying to establish if the fire was started deliberately.

Road closures were set up in the area while firefighters brought the blaze under control.
