At about 3pm on Friday 17th February 2 appliances and a water bowser from Douglas Station were dispatched by the Emergency Services Joint Control Room to reports of an excavator on fire on The Top Road, Crosby.
On arrival crews discovered an excavator was well alight in the roadway which was extinguished by officers wearing breathing apparatus and using high pressure hose reels.
Crews remained on scene for approximately 45 minutes to dampen down the area and ensure the vehicle was safe.
