This is the moment things went spectacularly wrong for a Yodel delivery driver on his rounds in rural Gloucestershire.
The shocking scene of the van bursting into flames was captured on camera by witness Clive Sturgess in Longney this lunchtime.
Four packages in the van were fire damaged, a Yodel spokesman said, but no-one was injured.
The van - particularly around the engine compartment - suffered severe damage.
Mr Sturgess said it happened at about 12.30pm while the van was parked in the village.
He added: "There might have been damage to maybe half a dozen parcels as the driver was near the end of his round."
A spokseman for Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue Service said: "Crews were called at 12.37pm to a van on the highway on fire.
"Crews found one Mercedes Sprinter van damaged severely by fire and one nearby vehicle damaged slightly.
"Gloucester South attended and used two hose reels and two breathing apparatus to deal with the fire.
"Crews were off scene at 1.26pm."
A spokesman for Yodel added: "We can confirm that a Yodel van caught fire while out delivering in Longney. Thankfully nobody was injured. Four parcels have minor fire damage and will be replaced. A full investigation into what caused the fire is currently taking place."
