Firefighters stop car fire spreading to nearby homes and vehicles
Firefighters have tackled a blaze in a car in Wolverhampton and stopped it from spreading to nearby properties and vehicles.
Crews from Fallings Park and Wolverhampton stations were sent to Woden Road, in Heath Town, at almost midnight on Saturday.
The fire was confined to the engine bay of the vehicle and it was "out quickly" thanks to the firefighters who used one hose reel jet.
An image of the vehicle was later showcased on social media – with the front of the vehicle having been heavily damaged by the blaze.
