Dorset firefighters were rushed to a van on fire over the border in Somerset yesterday.

One crew from Sherborne was called at 7.30pm after reports of a van on fire in Henstridge.

Once in attendance, cylinders could also be seen in close proximity so were quickly moved to a safe place to prevent escalation. Crews quickly brought the fire under control and also extinguished the fence and damped down the surrounding area. Crews returned at 9.45pm.
