DRAMATIC images shared by a fire and rescue team shows a large nine-car transporter ablaze.
Fighters were called to the roaring inferno Elitsley in South Cambridgeshire on Wednesday night to combat the flames.
Greg Hedley, who was passing by, alerted the unaware driver after seeing flames coming from around the rear wheels.
Within just 15 minutes five cars had caught a light and were burning intensely in the back of the transporter.
Crews attended from Fire and Rescue Services including Cambridgeshire, Gamlingay, Papworth, Huntingdon and St Ives on the B1040 road.
Wearing breathing apparatus, firefighters attending the scene fought back the fire, which was caused accidentally, using hose feels and jets.
One image shows the car transporter engulfed in flames, with several car windows filled with intense fires.
Thick black smoke can be seen billowing into the night sky as the intensify fire continues to burn.
Another image shows the aftermath of the intense fire, with nothing left to the cars but their charred white bodies.
Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service later posted their encounter with the fire on yesterday, writing: “If you spotted several fire engines on blues yesterday evening, there’s a good chance they were on their way to this!
“We were called to a large vehicle fire near Eltisley, which turned out to be a car transporter carrying nine cars.
“Thankfully there were no injuries.”

“Within 15 minutes five cars were on fire.
