A BARN caught fire but the cause of the blaze remains a mystery.

The fire happened at Lower Cattmore Farm at Eckington, near Pershore, at around 6.37am today.

Firefighters arrived to find hay, straw and farm machiney on fire in the barn.

Firefighters from Pershore and Upton-upon-Severn attended the blaze and a water carrier was brought in from Evesham to tackle the blaze.

The fire has since been brought under control and relief crews will be brought in at 10am to dampen down the area.

The cause of the fire is unknown but is being investigated.
