FIRE crews were called out to a blaze at a Southampton car repair firm this morning.

Crews from St Mary's Fire Station were called to Carface in Empress Road at 6.30am this morning, to reports of a small car fire.

When they arrived they found a fire had started in the engine bay of a Ford Focus at the site, which had then spread to a people carrier which was touching bumpers with the car.

They put out the fire using high pressure hose reels, but both cars are now likely to be scrapped.
