The vehicle’s windscreen was damaged by the stones, but thankfully nobody was injured.
The refuse fire was put out shortly after 8pm.
A spokesperson for South Wales Fire and Rescue Service told Caerphilly Observer: “Attacks on crews while protecting our communities and keeping people safe is completely unacceptable.

The fire service was unable to confirm the exact location of the incident.
