No one was injured; however, two dogs are believed to have died.

Police were also at the scene and cordoned off the country lane, but the flames were extinguished and the road was reopened by 9.30pm.

The fire is not being treated as suspicious, and the cause is believed to be accidental.

A fire service spokesman said: “Nine fire engines, a bulk water carrier, a Technical Rescue Unit and two ATVs attended.

“Crews, wearing breathing apparatus, used compressed air foam systems and hose reel jets to extinguish the fire.
