FIREFIGHTERS were called into action in the early hour of this morning after reports of a vehicle fire near Kingskerswell.

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service initially mobilised Torquay’s Green Watch on-call crew to Fluder Hill at around 2.30am on Thursday, May 15.

Upon arrival, however, a second appliance, again from Torquay, was called in.

The car was well alight.

Crew extinguished the fire using a hose reel jet, two breathing apparatus and compressed air foam.
