This was the dramatic moment a car burst into flames on a quiet Cardiff street.

Residents on Heol Camddwr, Pontprennau, were shocked to see firefighters tackling the blaze outside their homes yesterday.

Adam Dabkowski, who lives on a nearby street, witnessed two women jumping out of the silver Vauxhall as smoke poured out of it at around 4.30pm.

He said: “Two ladies got out of the car and I noticed smoke coming out of one part of the vehicle.

“There were flames and explosions and just before the fuel tank exploded the fire engines arrived and put out the fire.”

Attempts by Wales Online to contact South Wales Fire and Rescue Service were unsuccessful.
