One single storey stable was destroyed by fire and part of an adjacent single storey outbuilding was also damaged. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus rescued one cat and led 10 horses to safety. Sadly, two horses, two pigs and four piglets died. Two other horses were treated by a vet from the RSPCA.
