Norwich Crown Point Class 08 Fire (08/01)

Found some footage of a fire at Norwich Crown Point involving a Class 08 a few hours ago while the pilot was shunting around some rolling stock, unsure if its just a exhaust fire or if its a major incident

From what I heard it was just the exhaust.

Hope no significant damage at all?
Rather worthy of a caption competition if all is well.
My 2p:

OK all agreed?
...
Signalling problems it is then.

As someone has already said, I'm guessing it doesn't get THAT much work to do these day and oil can get into the exhaust and stay there getting hot so if it's just left ticking over getting warm it's easy to see how it can happen, just hope it didn't spread

If you look online there are many videos of diesel locomotives with exhausts spouting fire, it's not a good thing to be happening but no that bad in the grand scheme of things.
