Neighbours said the GanBwyll/Go Safe, formerly Arrive Alive, vehicle had been spotted several times in the area in recent weeks.
One local, who asked not to be identified, said: “It’s not the first time I’ve seen it here and I can’t think why it is here so often. I’ve noticed the camera window is sometimes open too.
“That’s the funny thing. This road is so narrow you can’t think about speeding. I’ve not heard about anyone being booked for speeding here either.”
Another local added: “I noticed smoke coming from around the van but thought it was just exhaust smoke from a car that had just gone past. The next thing I noticed was the sound of the fire engine.”
Firefighters from Bangor attended after the alarm was raised and quickly extinguished the blaze.
But the van was badly damaged in the incident and could not be driven.
Another neighbour said: “The firemen were very quick in putting the fire out but there were just a few smiles on their faces afterwards.
“I think quite a few people around here had a bit of a giggle as well.”
