Firefighters tackle vehicle fire in St Lawrence

At approximately 11:15am this morning, firefighters from Green Watch were called to a vehicle on fire at the bottom of Mont Cochon in St Lawrence.

While it was an electric vehicle, there is no evidence that the high-voltage electric battery – which would replace a fuel-powered car’s engine – was involved.

The fire was concentrated under the bonnet and was quickly extinguished.

Following the usual checks, the vehicle was handed over to recovery agents and the road was reopened.
