FIREFIGHTERS are currently climbing onto a thatched roof which has caught alight in Netherton near Fyfield.

At least seven fire engines, three police cars, one fire incident command unit and a fire support unit are at the scene of the fire in a cul de sac in the centre of the hamlet.

A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "You should have seen the flames earlier. They were at least five feet high. I could see them from my house which is at least 400m away."

Police have closed off both road entrances to the hamlet.
