A Tavistock crew from Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service attended a car fire at the Buccaneer Inn un Gunnislake today.

The fire was described as small and put out using one hose reel damping down the blaze. A thermal imaging camera was used to check for any hidden hotspots needing extra attention, to prevent fire taking hold later.

The car was a Peugeot and the fire was in the engine which was spotted by a passer-by who raised the alarm. The cause was described as accidental.
