Local farm thanks emergency service after huge fire breaks out in a straw bale stack

They are urging people to take extra care with BBQ’s and cigarettes.

The fire service was called to Poplars Farm in Nuneaton over the weekend as a large blaze started.

A post on social media by Poplars Farm Shop said: "Farmer Richard had to leave the party early to tend to a huge fire in our straw bale stack. Another night spent working through the night….

"Please, please take extra care with BBQ’s, cigarettes etc. Everything is so dry from the lack of rain & the hot weather, it doesn’t take much to start a fire.
"Farming is hard enough without having to deal with the damage caused by fires.

"A big thank you to Nuneaton Fire and Rescue for coming out to help."
