Two car fires had to be attended to by fire crews in the early hours of this morning.

A crew from Sprowston Fire Station were forced to use hose reel jets and breathing apparatus to put out a car on Woodcock Road, Sprowston at 00.39am, although the cause is as yet unknown.

But a similar incident in Great Yarmouth just before 2am is believed to have been caused deliberately.

It took a fire crew from Great Yarmouth Fire Station around 10 minutes to extinguish the fire on North Quay, again using breathing apparatus and hose reel jets.
