Large volume of smoke near Fort Brockhurst caused by car fire, flames tackled by fire fighters

The fire service was called to the car fire on Brockhurst Road at about 6pm.

A man had put too much oil in his car and the resulting fire caused a large volume of smoke, said a fire fighter from the Gosport station.

Nobody was injured, and only a small amount of water was needed to put the fire out.
