One fire engine from Whitehaven responded to the 999 call to Kinniside, Whitehaven, at about 7pm yesterday.

The vehicle was well alight on arrival.

A spokesman for the fire station said crews used a set of breathing apparatus and a hose reel jet to extinguish the fire.

They were at the scene for about 50 minutes.
