Crew manager Andy Pennington said that the fire had also caused slight heat damage to another car parked close by.
"It looks likely that the car was ignited deliberately and the police were also in attendance," he added.
CCTV footage from a nearby property will be studied as police and fire chiefs look to establish how the incident started.
