The blaze was extinguished by fire crews using two breathing apparatus and one hose reel jet, the spokesperson said, adding the incident was declared over at 8.17am.

Pictures show the car involved had been a white hatchback.

The petrol station had been closed earlier in the week after a BMW hit a residential building on Hollyhead Road next door to the Shell Garage on Sunday. The car was removed from the property only on Thursday.
