Smoke permeating a home in Tavistock was found to be caused by a motorcyclist wheelspinning on a laminate floor next door, firefighters said

Tavistock station officer Tim Smith firefighters were getting quite concerned when an investigation of the premises did not find the source “We made entry to the next-door property where we found someone revving their motorcycle and wheelspinning on the wood laminate floor. The back wheel had got so hot the tyre had melted into the floor.”

“My advice to anyone is not to take a vehicle with a petrol tank into a building, especially at the bottom of a wooden staircase which is the only means of escape” Smith added “This was a very silly thing to do.”

Nice to see the fire service has a strong command of understatement…
