Vehicle fire

A digger truck was deliberately set on fire earlier this morning on Cullompton Hill at Bradninch. A passing ambulance responding to an incident reported it to us and 2 fire appliances from Cullompton and Middlemoor (one of our Exeter stations) were mobilised as a result but on arrival of our Cullompton crews Middlemoor were returned en route, as the digger was a smaller one than originally thought. 

They soon had the fire under control with 2 firefighters wearing breathing apparatus using 1 hose reel jet. The Police were requested due to suspicious ignition and once on scene duty of care was left with them.
