Blazing Barn Packed with 180 Tonnes of Spuds Sparks Huge Fire Fight
Massive Potato Haul Goes Up in Flames
Fire crews from Fareham, Gosport, and Hightown rushed to a blazing barn on Brownwich Lane, Titchfield, this Wednesday afternoon.
The barn was stuffed with a colossal 180 tonnes of potatoes – a spud stockpile gone up in smoke.
Water Jets and Team Effort Save the Day
Two water tankers backed up the firefighters as they battled the intense blaze. The smouldering barn posed a serious threat, but the crews worked swiftly to contain the fire.
Farmers Left Counting the Cost
Local farmers face a major loss after the inferno destroyed the potato haul. Firefighters continue to monitor the site to prevent flare-ups.
