A car fire in a Pudsey street yesterday was so intense that it melted parts of other cars and cracked the window of a nearby house.

A crew from Stanningley fire station were called to reports of a car fire on Hutton Terrace at 1.30am.

When they arrived they found that as well as destroying the car, the bumpers of two nearby vehicles had been melted and the heat had damaged the window of a house the car was parked next to.

No-one was reported injured in the incident, and police are investigating the cause of the fire.
