Investigators have said a major fire at a farm in Chatteris was deliberate.

At 5.54pm on Sunday 25 August 2024, a fire crew from Chatteris attended a blaze involving a stack of approximately 2,000 tonnes of baled straw near Landwood Fen Drove.

The decision was made to allow the fire to burn itself out, but the crew remained on site until lunchtime on Monday 26 August 2024 to ensure the flames didn’t spread.

Officials have said the cause of the fire was deliberate and anyone with information should contact Cambridgeshire Police.
