A CAR fire at a West Albury boat ramp is the latest such arson attack involving a vehicle.
Dramatic images taken at the Kremur Street boat ramp early Wednesday morning show the vehicle fully engulfed by fire.
The car had been driven down to the boat ramp and set alight.
It took some time for the incident to be noticed and firefighters notified.
