A SKIP was deliberately set on fire at a farm in Highbridge.

One fire engine from Burnham-on-Sea was sent to a farm on Bristol Road at 11.51am to reports of a fire.

On arrival they found the skip well alight, and used a hose to extinguish it. 

A spokesperson for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said: "Crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire and believe the cause of the fire to be deliberate."
