Firefighters from Ryde worked to extinguish a vehicle fire on a rural road this afternoon (Saturday). A single fire appliance was called to the scene on Knighton Shute at around 14:30 this afternoon after receiving reports that a vehicle had caught fire. Firefighters taped off the road whilst they tended to the vehicle. 2 firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus used a single hose reel jet to extinguish the blaze. The occupants of the vehicle were not seriously hurt. The vehicle – which Island Echo understands was a Ford Focus estate – was left in-situ at the side of the road. Crews present left the scene at around 14:40, with the road swiftly reopened.
