Two fire engines responded to multiple reports of the vehicle fire just before 10pm on Saturday 9 October.

The van's handbrake failed as it caught alight and became a danger to nearby property.

Two firefighters wearing special breathing equipment were able to bring the flames under control.

The fire was likely caused by heat from a disposable BBQ.
