A HAMPSHIRE couple turned firefighters when their car burst into flames. The grey family saloon caught fire in Chestnut Avenue, Eastleigh, at 4.35am this morning. The couple heard a pop and looked out of the window to find the car ablaze. The vehicle, which they had bought just a week earlier, was destroyed but firefighters say their efforts almost certainly helped protect their second car that was undamaged. Firefighters extinguished the blaze and said they do not believe it to be suspicious but a possible engine malfunction.
