The emergency services were called after a barn caught fire in Crawley on Christmas Day.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service said multiple crews were sent to a fire involving an agricultural building on Langley Walk, Langley Green at 4.40pm.

“Joint Fire Control mobilised fire engines from Crawley, Horsham and Burgess Hill to the scene,” a spokesperson said.
