Crews have returned to a site in Plymouth that went up into a blaze last night (9 February).

At 17.48pm yesterday, teams were alerted to huge flames coming from an out building on Plymbridge Road.

At one point, teams from nine different places were called to tackle the fire - it was eventually scaled back to one fire engine.

Firefighters have now returned to the site to dampen down hot spots, and say they will continue to monitor it throughout the day.

The building contained farm machinery, a diesel tank and an unknown amount of fertilizer.
