Firefighters tackled a blaze after a car went up in flames.

A crew from Sherborne Fire Station was sent to Coldharbour following reports of a car on fire at about 9.20pm on Sunday, March 8.

While the firefighters made their way to the incident they received another call, telling them that the fire had escalated and the car was 'well alight'.

Once they reached the scene, two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the car fire using two hose reel jets.
