Barn destroyed by fire
The call came at 3.08pm with teams dispatched to the scene near Pen-y-Bont on the border near Oswestry.
Supported by a crew from Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service, crews responded to one detached barn, measuring approximately 20 metres by 12 metres, with the entire barn on fire.
Crews utilised two hose reel jets, three main jets, one ground monitor, one thermal imaging camera and three light portable pumps to extract water from a nearby river to extinguish the fire.
The barn, which contained approximately 60 tonnes of hay and straw, was completely destroyed by the fire. The fire is believed to have been started accidentally.
The scene continued to be monitored for several hours until the final crews left at 9.39am on Sunday.
