THE driver of a removal van had a lucky escape when his cab caught fire.
Two occupants had just delivered some furniture to premises on Key View, Darwen, when a fire started in the engine compartment at about 2.15pm yesterday.
A spokesman for Lancashire Fire Brigade said: "When we got there the cab was well alight but if it had been left much longer then the rest of the compartment would have caught fire. The driver was quite lucky to escape with only a slightly damaged cab.
"It could easily have been a lot worse."
