Same happened here, shortly after it was harvested and brought in. Mix of straw and hay. A whole barn worth in Brockham.

Would imagine the majority of that lost was destinied for the power station up the road not for sale to joe public

It was indeed. But that means that the power station will have to be fed from some other supply.

I've just had a word with one of the local firefighters. Shattered after having been there all night

The article says it was but that does mean the power station are going to need to source more straw... less supply, higher demand = higher prices.

Is this the stack fires in Mepal? Assume so. Heard it on the local news this morning. Bloody idiots!

 

[*hic*]

Yup

I was almost expecting to smell smoke up at the yard. I know it isn't close but it sounds like a big blaze! Who in their right mind thinks doing this is a good idea?

this happened in Notts and Derby this year too.

What is it with people, ffs!

Why are they doing this?
