Kenilworth barn fire may have been caused by nearby bonfire
At 3.35pm on Friday October 12, a crew from Kenilworth Fire Station was sent to reports of a barn fire on Crewe Lane. Another crew from Leamington was also sent.
The firefighters found a large pile of scrap wood and fibreglass on fire which had spread to the outside of the barn.

Hide AdWorkers on site had used buckets of water to try and put out the fire before firefighters arrived.
The crews then used a hose reel to extinguish the remaining fire and damp down the area.
A spokesman for Kenilworth Fire Station said: "The cause of the fire is believed to be embers from a nearby bonfire blown by the high winds. Please avoid having bonfires during high winds."
