VIDEO footage has emerged of the fire that torched a car garage's workshop and caused the evacuation of two schools.

The blaze ripped through the yard at the back of Parrs Garage, in Hindes Road, causing large bangs, which are currently unexplained, and sending smoke billowing into the air.

Fears that gas cylinders on the site might explode led to 600 pupils from nearby Norbury School and independent Quainton Hall being evacuated, along with around 100 residents from homes in the area.
