A BLAZING barn caused traffic chaos today as police were forced to close roads.
Six fire crews from across the county were called to Great Hayes Farm in Lower Burnham Road, Stow Maries, at 6.15am to tackle the burning barn in which 30 tonnes of ammonium nitrate were stored.
No one was evacuated from the area but the B1012 Lower Burnham Road was closed both ways between Church Lane and Woodham Road until 10.30.

Essex Police confirmed that the fire is not being treated as suspicious at this point.
