Reported as 150202 on 5K12 at Exeter Central. Couldn’t have been that bad as things were on the move quite quickly afterwards.

150202 is also out with 150247 on Exmouths as we speak (and has been in service since 05:44), so if it was that unit, the issue wasn't serious

Possibly a faulty alarm?

The Webasto heaters can also create acrid fumes too. I’ve seen many a passenger panic when gusts of smoke appear from underneath. The smell instantly provides the answer.

The ‘fire‘ in unit 15202 on arrival at Exeter Ctl on time at 1708 of the 1625 from Okehampton was
aledgedly some rubbish stupidly set on fire by a passenger, would you believe it.
