Firefighters from Hampshire and Dorset tackled a blaze on a 600-tonne manure heap.
Crews were called shortly before 7am on Sunday to the fire at a stable yard in Whitsbury near Fordingbridge.
Firefighters from Fordingbridge, Ringwood, Beaulieu, Lymington and Dorset and Wiltshire Fire Rescue Service used onsite machinery to create a break and remove hay from the blaze.

Relief teams from Droxford, St Mary’s and New Milton took over a few hours later.
The incident was left with the landowner and firefighters left the scene shortly before 4pm.
The fire was largely out with the remnants of the blaze expected to burn for a few days, so there is likely to be smoke in the area.
