FIRE crews rushed to the scene of a barn blaze.
Two crews were called to the barn in Southminster at around 3.39pm yesterday.
When they arrived they found a quarter of the barn, in The Marshes, was alight but put the flames out by 6.30pm.
The roof space of the barn suffered some fire damage.
The cause of the fire has been recorded as accidental, due to an electrical fault.
