Police are investigating a fire in which this car and several garages were badly damaged in Highbridge early on Saturday morning (November 24th).

Two fire crews from Burnham-On-Sea fire station were called at 12.51am to the blaze near Burnham Road in Highbridge.

“Crews found one garage was well alight in a row of approximately 10 others,” a spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
