Several gas cylinders had to be made safe by fire crews last night (Sunday) after a barn caught fire.

Firefighters were called to the barn at The Priory, Little Wymondley, at 5.42pm after it caught fire.

The barn, near Hitchin, is used as a catering facility and firefighters had to ensure several propane cylinders were made safe before they could leave the scene.

Four fire engines attended the incident and an electrical company was called after it was discovered the fire may have caused electrical problems.

The barn was declared safe at 7.08pm.
