A huge blaze at the Game Of Thrones set in Co Antrim was part of filming, it's understood.

The fire at the set in Toome was reported to the fire service on Wednesday night and prompted fears from fans over whether it was intentional.

But it is understood that they were filming a huge battle scene involving 400 to 500 extras.

A fire service spokesman confirmed that they were called to the scene but 'no action was taken'.

She said: "We did receive a call last night at 7.24 pm to an incident on the Rougery Road, Toomebridge, Magherafelt.

"Two fire appliances from Magherafelt Fire Station attended the incident however no action was taken as the incident was dealt with on site."
