Burnham police probe 'suspicious' vehicle blaze at Mark

Burnham-On-Sea police are investigating a suspicious fire in Mark which destroyed a 4X4 vehicle on Sunday morning (September 30th).

The town's fire brigade station rushed to Littlemoor Road at 10.51am after a passer-by reported a vehicle smoldering on the road verge.

"On arrival, the fire crew confirmed this to be a 4x4 vehicle fire which was out on arrival. The fire had spread to a nearby fence post which was extinguished using one hose reel jet," a fire spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

He added that the vehicle was completely destroyed by fire and that details had been passed to police as this was believed to be deliberate ignition.
