A video has shown the moment a car caught fire at a popular country park. 
Members of the public were directed away from the carpark at Moors Valley Country Park this afternoon after a car caught fire. 
An eyewitness told the Echo: “The car just set on fire in the middle of the car park, it began to blaze within minutes.
“Go Ape staff were very quick to react and get people out of the area.
“Black smoke was billowing into the sky as the near by cars began to catch light.”

At this time it is not clear what might have caused the blaze but videos from the scene show large plumes of black smoke pouring into the sky. 
Dorset Fire and Rescue Service have been approached for a comment.
