A spokesman for the fire service says: “Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service received a call from a member of the public reporting a shed on fire with a vehicle inside.”

“Two fire appliances from Burnham-On-Sea and an appliance from Bridgwater were immediately mobilised by Fire Control.”

“On arrival, the Incident Commander found that there was a well developed fire within the corrugated steel shed which is approximately 20m x 10m.”
