Two units from Brierley Hill Fire station were called to the derelict caravan with around 100 tyres on fire on Cochrane Road in Brierley Hill at around midday today.

Flames ripped through an open roof with almost just the skeleton of the van remaining and thick plumes of black smoke.

The van was said to be completely destroyed as firefighters used two hose reels and one main jet top tackle the blaze.

Dudley Council officials have been called in to clear away the tyres.
