A FIRE has destroyed a vehicle at the Grand Western Canal car park in Tiverton.

Fire control received multiple calls reporting the incident at around 9.20pm on Tuesday, November 19 and immediately mobilised a crew from Tiverton.

When they arrived, they found the vehicle “well alight” and got to work with a hose reel jet and a breathing apparatus.

They called for backup and a second crew from Tiverton was mobilised.

The firefighters successfully extinguished the fire, but the vehicle was damaged beyond repair.

The cause of the blaze was accidental, the fire service said.
