FIRE crews tackled a machinery fire in Dunkeswell.
FIRE crews were called to Dunkeswell yesterday afternoon (October 16) following reports of a machinery fire at a farm.
One appliance from Wellington was mobilised following a call at 1.24pm from the driver of a telescopic loader on fire at Dunkeswell Abbey.
On arrival, the crew confirmed it was well alight and set to work with a compressed air foam branch.
Once extinguished, they confirmed that the fire, which was started accidentally, had caused 50% damage to the loader.
Duty of care was left with the driver awaiting recovery.
