Vehicle fire

Fire Control received a call to reports of smoke coming from the back of a recycling vehicle.

1 fire engine from Exeter Middlemoor and 1 from Exeter Danes Castle, along with the water bowser, were sent to the location.

On arrival, crews confirmed, one dust cart, well alight and requested a 3rd fire engine for water.  This was sent on from Danes Castle.

Crews got to work with 2 breathing apparatus wearers and 2 hose reel jets.

The vehicle was relocated back to the depot to be emptied so the fire could be fully extinguished.  The cause was accidental.
