A van which was set on fire has finally been removed after the charred remains were left sitting on the street for two months. South Gloucestershire Council moved the vehicle from Filton Avenue after Bristol Live got in touch to ask why it was still in the same place.
Firefighters were called to the scene back in March after the van went up in flames on the residential street one Thursday morning. One resident said they heard a 'loud bang' in the area, while another claimed they could see black smoke billowing in the sky above the houses.
When they arrived, Avon Fire and Rescue Service found the van "well alight" and two other vehicles had been affected by heat damage - they determined the cause of the incident to be accidental and roads were closed while fire crews tackled the blaze.
