FIREFIGHTERS prevented a car fire spreading to a haulage contractor's building last night.
The Peugeot 405 is thought to have been driven into the building in Roxalina Street, Great Lever, which has recently changed hands and is now called W A Steel Haulage, and then set alight at about 11pm.
A large wooden window frame in the building, which is used to store lorries, caught fire.
Firefighters spent an hour containing the blaze and managed to prevent it spreading to the rest of the building.
The car was destroyed and the building was left smoke damaged.
