Three fire crews were called to a report of a stubble field ablaze near Nocton yesterday afternoon (Thursday).

Two crews from Lincoln and one from Woodhall Spa received the report at 3.35pm and went to Nocton Fen Lane in Nocton to find 18 hectares of stubble on fire.

Crews used hoses and beaters to stop the fire spreading and a farmer used machinery to assist in creating a firebreak.
