A spokesperson for South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said crews from Aberbargoed Fire Station were sent to the scene following "reports of a vehicle fire", alongside other members of the emergency services.
They battled the fire for around half an hour before sending a stop message to the fire service headquarters, indicating the blaze was under control.
