Five firefighters from Truro attended a call to a car on fire in Truro at around 10am on Saturday morning.
The car, stopped on the roundabout at the bottom of Morlaix Avenue, was well alight when the firefighters arrived.
Crews closed Morlaix Avenue to traffic and then used breathing apparatus and a hose reel, with a covering jet, to extinguish the fire.
Crews refilled from a hydrant and used the water to cool the vehicle before making safe. Police attended and highways were requested to attend to the damaged road surface.
