The vehicle was well alight and at risk of spreading to a nearby barn.

Fire crews wearing breathing apparatus used high-pressure hose reels and a fire extinguisher to stop the fire from spreading to the barn which had livestock in.

Once the fire was extinguished crews checked for hot spots using thermal imaging cameras.
