Heading home from patrols in Witham last night I responded to a report of a car on fire in Sible Hedingham, thankfully @ECFRS were quickly on scene & although the car could not be saved the occupants were safe. Late off again but glad I could help. @EPBraintree @EssexSpecials pic.twitter.com/Isj6oJuy4j
