The cause of the fire is being looked into.
Gillingham police are looking into a vehicle fire that started, but they are unable to rule out the possibility that the fire was started intentionally or accidentally. The Dorset Police team was alerted to the fire on the road between Milton Abbas and Bourton at about 2:30 pm on Sunday, June 30, and they are now looking for witnesses to the incident.
The event concerned a white Ford van that caught fire in the layby on Fantley Lane, a little distance outside of Silton. Traffic was barred from the road while emergency personnel battled the fire.
The fire department put out the fire and made arrangements for the car to be recovered. An inquiry is in progress to ascertain the origin of the fire.
Officers are now pleading with anyone who knows anything to come forward. “At this time the cause of the fire has not been confirmed and we are unable to say whether it was deliberate or accidental,” North Dorset Police Constable Ed Lewis stated.
“We are in the process of conducting investigations to determine the facts, and I kindly ask anyone who has any information about suspicious activity in the area or dashcam footage to come forwards.”
