Emergency services have put out a car fire at a busy Rotorua intersection this morning.
They arrived at the corner of Malfroy Rd and Fenton St about 8.25am.
The driver, who did not want to be named, said it was a "damn scary" experience.
"I didn't know what was happening when I was coming up Malfroy Rd, I was just hearing toots."
