Dozens of firefighters have tackled a blaze of hay in a barn at a farm.

They were called to Egghill Farm, on Egghill Lane, near Rubery, Worcestershire, at about 02:30 BST on Friday.

A barn used to store hay was on fire and there was potentially asbestos in the roof of the building, the service said.

Six fire engines and a water carrier were sent along with police officers.

Egghill Lane remained closed in both directions from Frankley Hill Lane to Frogmill Road during Friday morning's rush hour.
