Locals in a quiet Scots street reported hearing ‘banging’ noises after a car burst into flames near a local bowling club.
Two fire appliances rushed to Stable Lane in Polbeth, West Lothian, on Thursday night, December 13, after the alarm was raised shortly before 11pm.
An image from the scene shows huge orange flames coming from the vehicle and blue flashing lights in the distance as eight firefighters tackled the inferno, reports Edinburgh Live.
