A FARM building was severely damaged by fire near Bromyard over the weekend.
An internal mezzanine and part of a wall collapsed during the blaze, while machinery inside ended up destroyed following the blazed that happened in Canon Frome just after 5.05pm on Friday.
A number of fire crews were called to the scene, with the fire being brought under control shortly before 9pm.
A water relay was also set up from the river to augment the water supply and equipment from the Environment Protection Unit was used to prevent any water run-off entering the drainage system.
Firefighters remained at the scene overnight dampening down and carried out re-inspections the following day.
It is believed that the fire started in a tractor.
