One crew arrived at 6.53pm on Wednesday January 8 to find the car well alight in a field approximately 200 metres from the road.
Firefighters left the car to burn out as they were unable to extinguish it due to the location.
The crew returned to their station by 7.40pm.
The cause of the fire is believed to be deliberate said a Cambs Fire spokesman.
