A LORRY fire caused alarm at a Somerset service station.
Two crews from Burnham-on-Sea and the water bowser from Bridgwater were sent to Sedgemoor Services, on the northbound M5, at just after 2.15pm on Tuesday afternoon (January 28).
"Fire crews confirmed a fire involving the wheel assembly of an articulated trailer at the location," said a Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson.
"The fire was extinguished by fire crews using one reel jet cooling the wheel assembly.
"The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental."
