More than 40 firefighters are currently dealing with a major fire near to the A303 in Chicklade, which has led to the road being closed.

Fire crews were called to the scene at 3.43pm and found the roof of a single storey building used as a café and shop well alight; the adjacent petrol station is unaffected.

Crews on scene include Tisbury, Warminster, Gillingham, Mere, Sherborne, Westbury, Amesbury and Wincanton; they are being supported by a water carrier from Wilton.

Additional resources are being called in from Andover, Yeovil, Salisbury and Hamworthy.

The affected building is severely smoke logged and the roof is well alight. Firefighters in breathing apparatus are using hose reel jets and main jets.

No injuries have been reported. The cause of the fire will be investigated in the near future.
