‘We were deployed just after 11.15pm. Both vehicles were on fire. The occupants were all reported safe, they got out. One vehicle was a van and the other was a motorhome.

‘We requested police and ambulance to check the drivers and passengers just in case. They were all fine. Once we put the fire out and cleaned up some of the oil, we handed things over to the police. We got back to the station at 3.30am.’
