Crews were called to a tractor fire on a public highway near Branscombe today (Wednesday).

Two engines, from Seaton and Colyton attended, were called to the A3052, near the village at about 11.50am.

The fire was already out when they arrived, but firefighters still inspected the vehicle using one hose reel jet and a thermal image camera to check for hot spots.

The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental.
