A vehicle in Albania's capital Tirana caught fire moments after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake hit the country in the early hours of the morning (November 26).
The filmer explained: "The video was filmed nearly 15 minutes after the earthquake hit Tirana.
"We were passing in our neighbourhood streets to check for people that might need help and down the road.
"The car was on fire and the firefighters were doing their best to put it down.
"Nobody was sure why it went on fire but speculations where that an electricity sparkle might have caused a fire after the alarm went off."
The epicentre of the tremor was Durres, 20-miles west of the capital.
