The fire was caught on video by a passerby, who felt shocked by the scary situation.

Plumes of black smoke was seen from afar as three fire trucks pulled up on the busy road.

Cllr Arvind Dhaliwal, who lives on Shaggy Calf Lane, explained what happened.

"I was passing around from here after getting my grandson from Burnham School. I saw a lot of fire engines stuck here and trying to put the fire out. I then came out to check the damage and route cause. They said it was a shed in the backyard and probably someone doing a bonfire at the time.

"There was no damage, no animal or person was injured and no collateral damage to the property."
