The incident happened on Wednesday evening in Buckinghamshire’s Steeple Clayton, just outside of Bicester on the border.
Crews from Bicester Fire Station and Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service were called to a large vehicle on fire.
The firefighters tackled the flames using two hose reels after the engine had overheated and caught fire.
