Further to reports of a van on fire, two fire engines were mobilised. Upon arrival crews confirmed that the van was well alight, getting to work swiftly with two breathing apparatus and one hose reel jet to extinguish the fire. Once the fire was out crews used small tools to gain access to the van to carry out a search to ensure no persons were in the van. Crews reported that no persons were found in the van, confirming that all persons were accounted for.
Final details are that the van was 80% destroyed by fire. Two breathing apparatus were used along with one hose reel jet, a thermal image camera and lighting.
