Firefighters from Poole were also called to the incident.

They are currently using two Ground Monitors and a 70mm Hose to supply the water.

A spokesperson from Dorset Wiltshire Fire and Rescue said a lot of smoke is spreading into the local area:

"This is likely to continue well into Saturday as the barn and its contents burn out under control.

"Local residents should keep doors/windows closed as a precaution."
