Firefighters extinguished a moped which was ablaze in a Chiswell Green park last night.

St Albans fire crews were called at 8.32pm to Greenwood Park, but were at first unable to find the fire.

They had to leave their engine in the Tippendell Lane car park and take backpack spraying equipment to the area near to the A414.

The fire was put out within 25 minutes of the call.
