Fire destroys thousands of hay bales
Fire has destroyed 10,000 bales of hay at West Hougham.
Fire
crews were called to the scene at 11.10pm Tuesday when flames were
seen coming from a barn at Court Farm in Hougham Court Lane,
between Dover and Folkestone.
At the height of the blaze, around 30 firefighters were tackling
the flames and trying to prevent them from spreading to other
nearby farm buildings.
Crews were expected to remain at the scene all day Wednesday and
possibly Thursday to let the fire burn itself out. Hougham Court
Lane has been closed to traffic.
Police and fire officers are investigating the cause of the
blaze.
