Firefighters are still battling to extinguish a fire which broke out in a farm near Ghaxaq last night. People on the scene said the blaze is now restricted to a few bales of hay.

The huge fire enveloped a large area of the farm at about 2 a.m., with firemen using as many as 10 fire-engines to fight it from different angles. Although most livestock was rescued, a number of rabbits were killed.

A warehouse and two speedboats were destroyed.
