FIRE crews were called to a farm in Ipswich after eight hay bales caught alight.

Emergency services were called to Walnut Tree Farm in Old Norwich Road at 5.21pm and found the one ton bales well alight.

Staff from the farm used a loader to move the bales and allow fire crews to fight the flames.

They remained at the scene for more than two hours damping down.
