A CAR electrical fault is thought to have caused a blaze which damaged three cars on Wharf Street, Latchford.

Fire crews were called to Armistice House today, Tuesday at 4.10am after reports of a car fire but found the flames had spread.

A Cheshire Fire spokesman said: “There was extensive damage to the car where the fire originated and cosmetic damage to the two other cars either side.

“It is believed that the fire was accidental caused by an electrical fault in the fuse box.”
