POLICE are investigating after fire damaged six cars this morning.
The incident happened at 5.30am in the car park of the Aston Court Hotel, Midland Road, Derby.
A police spokesman said: "Officers are at the scene at the moment and will be today as we investigate the cause and inform the owners."
A fire service spokesman said: "The car fires happened in two separate locations of the car park."
The fires were out by 5.45am.
BMW driver Barrie Grimward, 54 of North Wales, was staying at the hotel and his car was damaged in the incident.
He said: At 5.30am I heard loud bangs and I wondered what the hell was going on. I could not believe what I could hear and I was staying at the front of the hotel.
"Both of the car door handles have been melted and so have the panels between the two doors.
"I have no idea how I'm going to get home. Its a company car. But at least we are all safe."
