Crews battle Ower barn blaze lasting several days

A campervan blaze spread to a nearby barn in Ower on Monday afternoon.

The fire grew affecting three barns in total, and around 500 hay bales which were contained inside.

Nearby roads were closed due to the heavy smoke in the area.

Firefighters from more than 20 different Hampshire stations attended the fire over the course of the incident which was scaled down to a three-fire engine attendance on Tuesday.

HIWFRS teams worked closely with onsite farm staff to dampen down the hay.

The incident has now been handed over to the farmer who will continue to treat the smouldering hay as a controlled burn, which is expected to last for a couple of days.

The stop message came in at 7:43 on Wednesday morning when the remaining HIWFRS vehicles began to leave the scene.
