Sellafield Fire and Rescue Service alongside other teams were called out at around 7.30am this morning to the fire in Yottenfews car park.
Crews from Bootle, Seascale and Whitehaven also attended.
Sellafield’s teams managed to bring the fire under control and attending crews supplied the teams with more water.
The fire was eventually extinguished at around 8am.
