THE A15 between Osbournby roundabout and Sleaford, was closed last night due to a major stack fire.
Two Sleaford crews, reinforced by firefighters from Billingborough, Billinghay, Metheringham & Water Carrier from Holbeach tackled the 24,000 tonnes of straw using a main jet & three hose reels.
The fire was in the Greylees & Quarrington area of Sleaford.
Residents were advised to keep doors and windows closed to avoid smoke entering property.
Three crews remained this morning damping down and the road is likely to remain closed at Silk Willoughby for the rest of today.
Three juveniles, all males, have been arrested on suspicion of arson.
One boy, who was arrested yesterday, has since been released on police bail while the two other individuals will be spoken to by officers in due course.
