A car has been destroyed after firefighters tackled the blaze at a town's leisure centre.
The incident happened early on Thursday morning as Bicester Fire Station were called to a car alight at Bicester Leisure Centre.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the fire with a hose reel as nobody was injured as a result of the blaze.
The fire crew also made the car safe by opening the bonnet with a halligan tool and spreaders to disconnect the battery as the engine was still running.
