Classic car destroyed before Country Fire Service firefighters extinguish blaze near Belair Hotel

Firefighters have revealed the estimated damage bill after a blaze in a backyard shed caused major delays on Main Rd at Blackwood on Monday.

A classic car went up in flames after a shed fire, which racked up a $200,000 damage bill, caused parts of Blackwood, Belair and Glenalta to be covered by smoke.

Five Country Fire Service crews extinguished the blaze at a residential property on Main Rd, next door to the Belair Hotel.
