FIREFIGHTERS were called out to Muddicombe Lane in Exford to tackle a coach fire.

Crews from Porlock and Dulverton were sent to reports of smoke coming from the vehicle just before 3pm today (Monday, July 10).

A spokesman for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue said: "On arrival the crews confirmed that there was an area underneath the coach chassis smouldering due to heat from the engine. 

"They used a hose reel jet, small tools and a thermal imaging camera to extinguish the fire."
