Fire destroys several vehicles in a Costa del Sol car park
There was a huge scare for residents living in Calle Laureano Casquero in Vélez-Málaga yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) after a fire completely gutted two cars and partially affected a van which were parked on a large open-air parking area next to the local football stadium.
The incident happened at around 3:00pm when the 112 Andalucía emergency call centre received numerous calls from witnesses alerting them to the start of a fire in one of the cars.
Flames quickly spread from this vehicle to another which was parked next to it, and then onto a van parked in the same row.
The fire brigade were dispatched to the parking lot and managed to put out the flames quickly without any other cars being affected in this busy parking area of the main town of Axarquia.
Local and National Police officers were also at the scene and took charge of the investigation to try and confirm the origin of the fire.
The emergency services have confirmed that there was only material damage and no one was hurt in the incident.
