The 49-year-old told the Record: "We were woken up by a loud bang. My partner looked out the window and told me my van was on fire.
"I thought she was joking and then I looked outside and saw the flames.
"I ran to the back of the house and got a hose and doused the fire until the fire brigade got there. The crew arrived just in time as I was losing the fight.
