FIREFIGHTERS were called out to tackle a digger blaze in South Cumbria.
A crew was called out to Gleaston on April 19 at around 2.50pm after receiving reports a telehandler was on fire.
Upon arrival at the scene, the crew found the digger well alight and two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus were able to extinguish the flames by using a one hose reel jet.
No injuries are believed to have been sustained as a result of the incident.
