This is the dramatic aftermath of a serious car fire in Burscough yesterday morning which left a Peugeot 306 a blackened wreck.

Two fire engines were dispatched to Truscott Road to fight the blaze which also damaged the front of a terraced council house.



The car was collected off the driveway at about 2pm yesterday afternoon; no one was injured in the incident.

One eyewitness who contacted the newsdesk said: "Two engines called to a car fire in Truscott Road, flames fanning the house, car parked very close to the building, some sort of explosion heard according neighbours.
