    A fire has broken out at a farm in Derbyshire after artificial grass caught alight during soaring temperatures.

    Four fire crews from Derbyshire and Staffordshire were dispatched to the scene in Bridle Lane in Stanton, near Swadlincote, at about 12:45 on Friday.

    Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service says the smoke plume from the blaze has led to a high volume of calls and asks people to keep windows and doors closed in the area.

    The service adds: "Please avoid the area while emergency services deal with the incident."

    County councillor Amy Wheelton says that she has made contact with the farm and that all people and animals are safe.
