A main road in Caerphilly was closed for several hours yesterday after a car caught fire.

The blaze happened by the traffic lights opposite the Texaco garage on St Cenydd Road.

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service was called at around 12.45pm on Sunday April 13.

A fire service spokesperson said: “Crews and an appliance attended from Caerphilly. Breathing apparatus, two hose reel jets and small tools were utilised to extinguish the fire.”

St Cenydd Road was closed between the Texaco garage and St Cenydd roundabout on Sunday afternoon, but has since reopened.
