An investigation has been launched “across the pond” after a van went up in flames at Kidsgrove (Staffordshire, north of Birmingham) Fire Station. The alarm was tramsitted just before 6pm this evening after a vehicle parked in the ‘appliance bay’ caught fire. Smoke was seen billowing from the top of the building, while the windows glowed orange as the fire took off. Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service have now confirmed that the fire did not prevent firefighters from responding to any incidents.
