Driver tackles Keighley car fire
A MOTORIST used a foam extinguisher to tackle a fire which broke out beneath the dashboard of his vehicle.

The driver of the Vauxhall Vectra was uninjured.
It is believed the fire was caused by an electrical fault.
"The driver had dealt with it when we got there – we checked the vehicle and isolated the battery," said Keighley fire service watch commander Michael Rhodes.
