Blaze caused by backfiring forklift
A backfiring forklift is believed to have sparked a blaze that tore through a car yard in Brisbane this week.
According to the Brisbane Times, fire crews called to the wrecking business on Kingsford Smith Drive at Pinkenba found an inferno raging among about 100 car bodies sitting in rows and stacked three high.
Initial investigations suggest a forklift that was being used to dismantle car bodies backfired and ignited some fuel residue.
The fire was eventually brought under control just after 10pm.
