FIREFIGHTERS were called to a Colchester farm when tyres caught alight.
The tyres were laid out behind a stable at the farm in Barechurch Hall Road and stretched around 10 metres in length.
The fire started at 6.20am and crews spent 40 minutes extinguishing the flames.
It is believed the fire started accidentally.
