FIREFIGHTERS in Tywyn battled a “tremendous inferno” last week after a car dramatically caught fire at the seafront.

The car sustained 100 per cent fire damage tow­ards the front of the car after an electrical fault.

North Wales Fire and Rescue attended the fire at approximately 6pm on Wednesday, 20 April, and used two hose-reel jets and two sets of breathing apparatus to battle the fire on Marine Terrace.

One bystander, who did not wish to be named, described the blaze as a “tremendous inferno” and said the fire service did well to contain the fire before the car’s fuel tank exploded.

No injuries were recorded at the scene.
