Prison staff helped put out a bin lorry fire near HMP Bullingdon.
Staff from HMP Bullingdon tackled the blaze before fire crews from Bicester Fire Station and Slade Park Fire Station arrived at the scene this morning (February 15).
The fire was contained so it didn't spread to the lorry itself and firefights were able to use a hose reel to put the blaze out.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service have reported that the cause of the fire was accidental.
A spokesperson said: "This morning crews from Bicester Fire Station and Slade Park Fire Station extinguished a fire in the back of a bin lorry near Bullingdon.
"Using a hosereel and thermal image camera to check for fire spread, the good work by prison staff in suppressing the fire before our arrival meant it was contained and didn’t spread to the lorry itself.
"The cause of the fire is accidental."
