Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue have poked fun at a caller last night - who managed to mistake the moon for a fire.

After a busy Bonfire Night, the service were able to have a bit of a laugh with what they described as their 'favourite call of the night'.

In a tweet, they described exactly how the conversation went:

"I'm looking out of my window and can see a huge fire that is getting bigger.

"Hang on... it's the moon."

The fire service said 'you couldn't make it up'.
