Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued a stark warning after sharing an image which shows how a pair of sunglasses left on a car's dashboard caused a huge blaze that ripped through the vehicle.
The reflective shades, which ignited the fire by magnifying a concentrated ray from the sun, melted the car’s plastic interior and parts of its engine bay.
The burn broke out at 5.05pm in Nuthall on Saturday (May 27) and was only doused after a fire engine attended the scene.
