This was the moment firefighters leapt into action after a car exploded in an East Sheen car park on Friday afternoon.
A silver saloon turned into a fireball after suffering an electrical fault in the car park at Sheen Lane Health Centre and East Sheen library at about 4.25pm on Friday, September 12.
A crew from Richmond fire station were called and spent about an hour tackling the blaze, which also damaged a second vehicle.
A Richmond firefighter said: "Both cars were total write offs. One was completely gutted and the other one was pretty much gone too."
