Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service The van is parked at the side of the road. Much of it is black and clearly wrecked by the fire. A once white panel has been seemingly blown open by the fireworks on the left side of it, while the right seemed to have detached. Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service

The damage caused by the fireworks was clear once the fire had burned out

Fireworks that exploded when the van they were loaded into caught fire destroyed the vehicle.

Firefighters were called to Wimborne Road in Tarrant Keyneston, Dorset, at about 21:50 GMT on Friday.

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said because of the risk posed by the fireworks a cordon was put in place but removed once the fire burned out.

Crews left at about 07:50 on Saturday but the road will remain closed so the van can be recovered and road repairs carried out. No-one was injured.
