Fire crews are currently tackling a barn fire in Paytoe near Leintwardine.
Six crews from Leominster and Leintwardine are dealing with the barn fire which is 'fully ablaze'.
Fire crews responded to the incident at 4:15pm.
Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service says multiple jets and hosereels are in use. Concerns have been raised the barn could potentially collapse.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
