FLAMES from a car fire believed to have been started by arsonists almost licked a street lamp, the fire service said.

Five firefighters from Plympton were called to Valley Road at 10pm on Monday night after a Renault Megane was targeted by suspected arsonists, watch manager Peter Tobin, said.

The car was left completely destroyed by the blaze which took fire crews around 45 minutes to put out using hose reels and breathing apparatus.

Police were investigating the incident.

    “Ironically, the best thing that could happen to a Megane is to catch fire.”

    “"Almost damaged a street lamp"....

    Really?

    See now this could have been a real NEWS story about a suspected arson attack.
    Instead your editors choose to take the focus off of that and publish a headline that says an arson attack NEARLY damaged a street lamp.

    Jesus wept....”

    “Reports also said it almost damaged a nearby car, a tree across the road, a cat watching from a nearby window, and the Tamar Bridge.”
