A CAR FIRE in Little Hulton was 'unlikely' to have been caused by a mechanical fault because the vehicle had not been used for several hours.
Firefighters were called to put out a Seat Ibiza which was on fire in the early hours of the morning.
The crew from Farnworth Fire Station responded to the call at 3.20am this morning in West Way, Little Hulton where the car was ablaze.
Watch manager Alex Sugden said: "Unfortunately it's been destroyed. The engine compartment was on fire."
He added: "It hadn't been run since 6am, it's unlikely it's a mechanical or electrical problem."
