Well, last night at the farm didn't go well!!
I pulled 'The Beast' into the barn to park up and headed out for a stalk and after about 30 mins I looked back and saw a ploom of smoke from the barn!! My heart sank as I just knew what was up and started back to find it on fire!
Amazing how quick it takes hold and within minutes the barn roof had caught too!! 5 engines turned up to get it under control which you'd have thought would have done, but an hour after they left we had to call again as one of the timber purlins had caught when the wind got up from a remaining ember!! So out comes another crew and this time checked with thermal to make sure!!
I've had better nights!!
From this!
To this!!
We heard a big old bang and it blew bits of the bonnet off!!
Luckily they got it under control before the car and trailer (filled with a few £1000 worth of gundog club equipment) went up as well!
