Four fire engines were called to tackle a blaze near a north-east village.
The fire broke out in a farm building just north of Rothienorman just before 4am this morning.
A spokeswoman said: “We sent out four appliances from Turriff, Oldmeldrum, Insch and Inverurie.”
The stop message came through at 7.29am and the last appliance left the scene at 12.16am.
There are no reports of injuries or anyone needing to be walked to safety.
