Rally car gutted

By Jo Kennett

FIREFIGHTERS WERE called in to put out a fire in a Mystery Box Rally car in Kingscliff on Friday, February 17.

Fire and Rescue Kingscliff were called in at around 3.25pm to reports of a car fire in Kingscliff Street.

Crews arrived on the scene a short time later, extinguished the fire and rendered the area safe, but it was too late for the car to be saved. The road was closed for a short time by police. The Mazda 121, known as the Love Bug, had been driven in the Mystery Box Rally over a number of years to raise funds for cancer research.
