A large blaze broke out in a Soberton blaze on Friday evening.

Crews from Cosham, Fareham, Botley, Southsea, Havant and Portchester were alerted shortly before 9pm.

Several buildings including an empty stable block were fully involved in flames when firefighters arrived on scene.

Wearing breathing apparatus, firefighters began fighting the fire with jets.

Several gas cylinders were identified and removed from the scene to prevent them becoming involved.
