VIDEO and PICTURES: Ten luxury cars gutted in Wordsley blaze
Ten luxury cars were gutted after a blaze broke out at a vehicle repair company in Wordsley - with around 30 firefighters battling the fire at its height.
Fire crews were called to Central Sports Cars, on Dadsford Bridge Industrial Estate, Plant Street, at around 3.50pm.
Ten cars under repair, including some Porsche models, were destroyed in the fire.
But staff were able to save eight other vehicles which were parked outside.
No-one was injured in the blaze.
At its height, plumes of thick smoke could be seen over the town's skyline.
Fire crews had to withdraw from the building for safety reasons after the fire spread to the roof.
Plant Street was closed off between Mill Street and A491 High Street causing some traffic to build up along nearby roads.
Station Commander Wesley Williams said crews from Brierley Hill had been first at the scene.
"We had reports of a fire within a vehicle repair shop which contained luxury cars and luxury car items," he said.
"We got here in a fast time to stop the fire spreading further and contained it.
"The company has managed to save eight of the cars. But ten under repair were destroyed by the fire."
Ambulance crews were also called to the scene as a precaution.
Fire officers said there were no suspicious circumstances.
Crews remain at the scene today, dampening down the site of the blaze.
