Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue say they were called out at 14.48 to the incident on Woodside Road, Kirton.

Two crews from Boston along with Kirton and Spalding initially attended the scene and found two agricultural buildings were on fire.

A spokesperson for the service said: “Anyone in the area advised to close doors and windows as there is a lot of smoke.”

Crews have remained in the area overnight to monitor the situation after extinguishing the blaze, with Metheringham and Spilsby on the scene earlier today.
