These were the dramatic scenes in the centre of Highbridge on Friday afternoon (April 11th) as Burnham-On-Sea fire crews dealt with a serious car fire.
Burnham firefighters were mobilised to a report of a car alight in Highbridge’s Bank Street Car Park just before 4pm.
One fire engine from Burnham was sent to the scene and on arrival the crews confirmed a car was well alight.
The fire team used two hose reel jets and two sets of breathing apparatus to extinguish the flames and avoid the fire spreading to a nearby building.
A spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com the cause of the fire had been accidental, and that 75 per cent of the vehicle had been severely damaged by fire.
