A large plume of black smoke filled the air in a Richmond neighbourhood on Sunday afternoon after a car burst into flames.
According to a nearby resident, Norm Conrad, firefighters and police were at the scene of the blaze near Seacote and Williams roads, close to No. 5 Road, in the South Arm community.
Conrad’s photos show what appears to be a blue Chevrolet sedan burning fiercely then sitting by the roadside burned out.
Conrad doesn’t believe anyone was injured in the fire.
Richmond RCMP told the Richmond News that it was a mechanical failure that "contributed" to the fire and was deemed not suspicious.
