Two fire engines from Okehampton, one water foam carrier from Exeter Danes Castle and two officers were mobilised to a report of a grain dryer fire within a barn this morning in the Sticklepath area.
Upon attendance, fire crews confirmed that there was a small fire within the grain dryer. The grain was removed from the silo using a mechanical auger and fire crews used one 105 fog spike, one hose reel jet and one thermal imaging camera to assist with extinguishing the fire.
