MORE than 100 bales of hay caught ablaze in a field near Kidderminster.
At about 1pm today (Thursday), firefighters were called to put out the flames from the 105 bales which were alight in a field along Stourport Road.
Fire and rescue officers from Hereford and Worcester Fire Control were unable to get hold of special machinery to break up the hay to stop the burning quicker, so the hay is being allowed to burn under control and the area surrounding is being dampened to stop the spread of flames.
No injuries were reported and it is not thought to be suspicious.
