A KEIGHLEY fire crew was called out to tackle a car blaze at Oxenhope last night.

The Opel Omega had been abandoned and set alight in Hill House Edge Lane.

Firefighters were alerted at about 8pm.

"The car had been abandoned on the roadside at quite an isolated spot and it was well alight when we arrived," said a fire service spokesman.

"We used a hose reel and extinguished the fire quickly but the vehicle was destroyed."
