They found the fire had spread from the shed to two small outbuildings, two tractors, a neighbour's shed and a tree.

Crews used two hose reels, two sets of breathing apparatus and one main jet to put out the flames.

A spokesman said the fire was believed to have been caused by an electrical fault in a pressure washer.
