Crews got to work with one hose reel jet and one 45mm jet. The police were also in attendance.

The fire was extinguished and checked with a thermal imaging camera.

The vehicle had 100 per cent damage to the front end and 50 per cent damage to the main body of the car. The incident was then handed over to police.
