This was the moment firefighters dealt with a huge blaze on a busy Bolton road where a car was found 'exploding'. Firefighters raced out to De Havilland Way, near the M61 in Westhoughton, after 6.45pm on Monday (January 23).
Dramatic video footage shows the crew battling large flames, which were erupting from a white Ford close to a roundabout. Stephen Duffy says he stopped and called 999 after seeing the fire.
"I was first on scene and was surprised that no one had already called the fire brigade so to prevent anything as the car was exploding," he said. "I used my works van to block the road and call the emergency services which were very quick to respond."
