Fire crews were called to a blazing mobile home and adjoining barn in Snarestone, north west Leicestershire, late last night.
Firefighters from Moira and Ashby tackled the fire, off Bosworth Road, just after 10pm.
The mobile home was virtually destroyed in the blaze and 84 large one-tonne bales of straw were allowed to burn out. A dutch barn containing the straw was also badly damaged.
A water carrier was sent from Loughborough just after 11pm to boost supplies to crews fighting the fire on the ground. One fire engine from Coalville was still at the scene this morning.
The cause of the fire has not yet been released.
