North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service said the fire broke out on the farm in Watsons Lane, Toulston, at just after 4.30pm today.

Three fire engines were called in and foam was used to suppress a fuel fire in the building, which contained a number of agricultural vehicles.

Farm machinery was used to remove items from the building, added a spokesman.
