Owner saves boat after towing car bursts into flames
The owner of a vehicle which caught fire managed to un-hitch the boat they were towing and save it from being engulfed in flames.
Buckfastleigh Fire Station crew attended a vehicle fire on the A38, opposite the old race course, today, Sunday, 3 July.

A spokesperson for Buckfastleigh Fire Station said: "The quick thinking driver managed to un-hitch a boat the vehicle was towing meaning only the car was damaged."
After they had finished battling the blaze, the crew took a few minutes to pick up rubbish discarded by drivers and ended with a whole black bin liner full from only 20 metres either side of the car.
