Wigan fire crews were called to the car fire on the Medway Place cul-de-sac shortly after noon, where a resident had already put out the fire.

The car, a white Peugeot van was reported as stolen to police after crews rid the van of its seats, which were still emitting smoke caused by the fire.

No injuries were caused as a result of the fire, which took crews less than an hour to secure and make safe.
