Firefighters have tackled a large barn fire involving lots of hay bales in Hampshire.
Crews raced to the scene near Blackfield after 12am this morning.
The barn containing hay bales was 'well alight' on arrival and is believed to have been set alight deliberately.
The buildings next to the barn were saved from being engulfed by the flames.
There are no reports of any people or animals injured.
Crews from Hardley, Beaulieu, Eastleigh, Hythe, Redbridge, Ringwood, St Mary's, and Totton are working together to extinguish the blaze and to prevent fire spread.
Relief crews remain on the scene at this time.
