Firefighters are tackling a major barn blaze in South Oxfordshire this morning.

Eye witnesses reported that a large storage barn at New House Farm, in Southmoor, caught fire before 7.30am.

Several fire crews, ambulance and police are attending the incident.

Student Tom Hughes, who lives close to the farm, said he could hear the blaze when he woke up.

He said: "I looked out and the main barn was on fire.

"There were lots of fire engines, at least five or six.

"A few of the farm workers were running across the field to it, they knew it was big."
