At 11:48 Fire Control received the first of nineteen '999' calls reporting a vehicle on fire, and an appliance from Newquay was mobilised.

Following reports that fire had spread to surrounding vehicles Fire Control made a decision to 'Make Pumps 2', and a second appliance was mobilised from Bodmin, along with a Group Manager.

Prior to arrival the first crew reported there was a large volume of smoke in the distance, and on arrival confirmed two vehicles were well alight.

Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus and two hose reel jets were used to extinguish the fire.

Cordons were put in place to keep the public safe while the incident was resolved.
