Firefighters tackle crop fire in Northamptonshire village

Crews were called to the blaze in Glapthorn, near Oundle, just after 10.30am on Sunday, April 12.

A spokesman for Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Crews from Oundle, Corby and Thrapston used beaters and hose reel jets to extinguish the fire and dampen down hot-spots.

"They worked alongside farm workers who used equipment to create a fire-break to stop the fire from spreading.”

Northants Fire and Rescue has shared these pictures taken by Rob Wilkinson of the fire.
