Smoke billowing as car bursts into flames on suburban Hobart street

Reports of a car on fire have sent firefighters rushing to Kalang Avenue in Lenah Valley this afternoon.

Thick black smoke was seen billowing into the air as flames raged from what appears to be a Holden Captiva.

Speaking to Pulse, a Tasmania Fire Service spokesperson said the car was parked with nobody inside at the time of the incident.

“The owners have been made aware,” they said.

Parts of Kalang Avenue remain blocked, with police urging motorists to avoid the area until the scene is cleared.
