A team from Swanage Fire Station was alerted to reports of a fire on the Purbeck Breezer at around 6am on Saturday morning, November 16.
On arrival, it was found the rear brakes were ablaze.
A spokesperson for the station said: “Early this morning both pumps were mobilised to a large vehicle fire in town.
