Bucks Fire & Rescue Service reported that three appliances were still at the scene at 8.40am this morning, with crews dampening down hotspots using an extended hose reel in a neighbouring property, due to the suspected asbestos roof of the burnt barn.

The BFRS Hazardous Materials Officer has been consulted and UK Health Safety Agency informed.
