ABOUT 20 firefighters tackled a blaze at a grain silo near Kidlington shortly before midnight last night.

A spokesman for Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said arsonists are suspected of starting the fire in the ground-floor of the derelict eight-storey building, which sits next to the Water Eaton park and ride site.

Fire crews from Kidlington, Woodstock and Oxford tackled the blaze, which spread to a number of different sections of the silo.

No-one was hurt in the incident.
