Northamptonshire road closed in both directions due to crop fire
Fire service warned public to avoid the area
Firefighters had to close a major trunk road through Northamptonshire while they tackled a crop fire on Sunday (July 24).
The A6 near Burton Latimer was closed by emergency services in both directions because of a blaze involving cut crops on nearby farmland.
A spokesperson for the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) said: “Crews from Burton Latimer, Wellingborough, Earls Barton and Rushden were called at 8pm.”
The road reopened at just before midnight.
