After an hour or more, the fire brigade were satisfied that it was properly out. Nothing more to say, really.

Fear of the tank exploding kept us at a safe distance, and now that the fire had taken hold of the trees and grass, we had concerns that the dry fields were going to be consumed as well.

We noticed smoke from the engine, at about the same time that a warning light came on the dash, and almost instantly, everything failed. It was quickly apparent that no amount of effort was going to get the fire under control, especially as we could not open the bonnet as it was already buckling because of the heat. I cannot believe that even at this stage, I thought that the items in the boot might be salvageable once the flames were put out. At this point, the tyres had both blown, and I think the windows were shattering.
