A RANGE Rover burst into flames at Merry Hill due to an electrical fault, the fire service has said.

Firefighters were called at 3.05pm on Saturday February 26 to a vehicle on fire near The Boulevard.

The car was well alight in the car park of the KFC drive-through when a fire engine and crew from Brierley Hill Fire Station arrived at the scene just two minutes after the emergency call.

The fire is believed to have started because of an electrical fault, fire chiefs said.

It was extinguished by firefighters using a hose reel jet.
