Ship's cargo smolders at Teignmouth port

Wheat pellets were smoldering on board a ship at Teignmouth

Fire reported on board ship; cargo removed to cool naturally

A ship's been on fire in Teignmouth on Thursday afternoon.

The blaze was in the hold of a vessel carrying wheat pellets. They've been moved port-side by crane and allowed to cool naturally.

And whilst fire crews from the town stood by with hoses and jets, they weren't needed.

The matter's been left in the hands of Teignmouth port authorities.
