I CLITHEROE'S fire fighters were called to put out a car engine blaze. The vehicle, parked in the town's Shawbridge Street, was being worked on by its owner when a defective electrical connection caused the area around the engine's fuse box to ignite. -Fire-fighters wearing breathing apparatus brought the fire under control, but it still caused severe engine damage.
