Firefighters used breathing apparatus in tackling the fire
A fire at a barn in Cornwall is being treated as suspicious by emergency crews.

Firefighters were called out to the building at Killiganoon, near Carnon Downs, Truro, at about 2040 BST on Saturday.

When they arrived, a 10 metre by 7 metre area was found to be well alight.

Three hoses and five sets of breathing apparatus were used by the five crews from Falmouth and Truro to put out the fire.

Cornwall County Fire Brigade said the incident was thought to be "arson related" and that Devon and Cornwall Police are investigating the cause.

No one was hurt in the incident.
