Straw fire may have been started deliberately
It is believed a huge fire which destroyed thirteen thousand bales of straw at a storage site in Linconshire was started deliberately.
Three children have been arrested after the fire which is still burning more than twenty four hours after it broke out.
The straw was for use at the nearby Sleaford Renewable Energy Plant which only started its commercial operations a month ago.
