Dramatic video shows firefighter tackling huge two-car blaze

A DRAMATIC video sent to the Telegraph & Argus shows a firefighter tackling a huge two-car blaze in Bradford.

The fire happened in Hathaway Avenue, in the Daisy Hill area of the city, at around 12.30am this morning.

A witness who sent the footage, and wished to remain anonymous, said the fire service and police attended the scene.

He claims CCTV shows two men leaving a car and then making off in another vehicle.

He said it is unclear whether the car they leave is set alight or bursts into flames.

The car then rolls down the hill and hits another vehicle that catches fire, according to the witness.

He said: "It was dramatic and the car had a few blasts, many neighbours come out of their houses.

"Firefighters reached on time, otherwise the fire could have caught house fences."

The video sent by the witness showed huge flames rising into the air from the vehicles, with thick plumes of smoke also emanating from the blaze.

A single firefighter can be seen using a hose reel to try extinguish the inferno.

The T&A has contacted West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service and West Yorkshire Police for comment.
