FIFTY cattle were saved from a major barn fire in Halesowen, only 24 hours after another devastating blaze at the same farm.

West Midlands Fire Service was called again to White House Farm, in Lutley Lane, Hayley Green at about 9pm last night (Monday, August 15), with six crews tackling the flames.

The fire involved a number of hay bales which had caught ablaze, closing nearby roads. The fire service has not yet confirmed if the fire was arson.

This latest blaze comes 24 hours after ten calves were burned in a suspected case of arson at White House Farm on Sunday night (August 14).

Last night, two people, a 51-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of arson following the first barn fire.
