They extinguished the blaze, which involved straw and farm machinery, and dealt with some asbestos in a neighbouring building.
A fire service spokesman said the fire was under control by 6.45pm.
She added: “There was 50 per cent severe damage by fire to a tractor, 100 per cent damage to 11 small hay bales and 50 per cent fire damage to the remainder of the building.”
