$500,000 DAMAGE CAUSED BY HAYSHED FIRE

A hay shed, along with its contents, has been destroyed by Fire at The Sisters.

According to CFA, Fire crews attended the property at around 8am on Sunday, to find a hay shed fully involved.

It’s understood that more than 800 bales went up in flames, along with a ute and a feeder, causing over $500,000 worth of damage.

Aside from the property damage, the fire has created a significant shortfall in feed ahead of winter.

It’s believed the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion, a chemical imbalance in hay triggered by moisture.

It’s believed there have been over 30 fires caused by combustion in the region since the onset of summer.
