Piglets die in a farmyard blaze

Twenty pigs and piglets have died in a fire at a farm in Lancashire.
Six crews were called to Bates Farm on Parr Lane at Eccleston near Chorley after a fuel storage tank caught light about midnight on Wednesday.

A fire service spokesman said there was "a grave threat of escalation of the blaze causing an inferno."

The fire left a number of outbuildings with extensive damage. An investigation team have visited the scene to try to find out the cause of the fire.
