Firefighters are tackling a large barn fire in the Kings Pyon area.
Hereford and Worcester Fire Service were called to the blaze at just after 1pm.
Multiple crews are in attendance from Hereford, Leominster, Kington, Ledbury, Eardisley and Malvern.
Around 500 tonnes of straw is stored in the barn.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
