Firefighters have been called to a blaze at a dairy farm in Powys for the second time in a month.

They spent several hours fighting the barn fire at Forden, near Welshpool, which broke out at 1900 BST Saturday.

A Mid and West Wales Fire spokesman said hay and machinery were in the barn. Five fire crews were involved in the incident and dampening down was continuing on Sunday.

Another barn at Woodlands Farm was destroyed by fire on 26 September.

The fire service then was involved in a 14-hour operation, after the fire in a barn containing hay and straw.

In the latest incident, about 200 yards away, crews managed to prevent the blaze from reaching an adjoining building.
