Fire Control received calls reporting a car on fire in a field and mobilised one appliance from Chagford.
On arrival crews confirmed one car abandoned in a field was fully involved in fire and requested a second appliance to attend for additional water which was mobilised from Okehampton.
The car was 100% damaged by fire and crews used two breathing apparatus, one compressed air foam jet to extinguish the fire which was believed to have been started deliberately.
