FIREFIGHTERS attended a car ablaze after reports of several 'explosions' being heard in St Arvans last night.

Crews from Chepstow were called to a commercial garage on Tintern Road in St Arvans at 12.15am.

A car was well alight on their arrival and crews used two hosereel jets to extinguish the blaze.

A fire service spokesman said: "The fire had been started close to a cattery and horses in a field."
