Firefighters were called to a car "well alight" after a suspected deliberate fire in a St Albans driveway today.

The crew from St Albans were called to Praetorian Court, off Vesta Avenue, shortly before 1.30am after six residents reported the fire.

Firefighters used breathing apparatus and a hose reel to extinguish the blaze, the cause of which has not been ascertained.

The fire has been recorded as "doubtful or deliberate" by Hertfordshire Fire Service.
