Fire crews from Northants have been battling a blazing muck heap that caught fire at about 10am on Sunday 23rd November.
The blaze broke out at East Lodge Farm Riding School after the owner called the fire brigade to help him carry out a controlled burning.
The junction of Washbrook Lane and Ecton, near to Sywell Country Park has so far been closed by the police for 48 hours amid fears for public safety.
A spokesman for the Northants Fire Service said:
“The fire is not completely out yet — it is still continuing to smoke and we expect it will do so for some time. There is nothing more we can do at the moment but we will be going out to check on it again tomorrow (Tuesday 25 November).”
