A golf buggy has caught alight at the Isle of Wight Festival, sending thick black smoke billowing into the sky over the site.
The festival's on-site fire and rescue service is in attendance and it is understood the fire is under control.
Revellers have been told to stay clear of the Pink Moon Camping area while the incident is dealt with.
Isle of Wight Police said: "A short while ago a golf buggy used to travel around the festival site at #IOW2024 caught fire.
"No one was injured and the on-site fire service quickly extinguished it, with none of the festival site, staff or attendees affected."
A spokesperson for the Isle of Wight Festival said: "A fire broke out in an area of the festival.
"The fire was contained and quickly extinguished by the fire services and no one was injured."
