It was a case of 'wheels on fire' in Martindale Road after a caravan was dumped in the Hounslow road before being set alight.

Two engines and eight firemen from Feltham station rushed to the scene after receiving a call from a worried resident at 1pm this afternoon.

It took them just 10 minutes to put out the flames and the scorched remains will now be removed by the council.

Feltham watch manager Phil Watkins said they believed the van had been dumped and torched and police had been informed about their suspicions.
