Emergency service crews were called to East Tamworth McDonald's on Roderick Street just after 2pm on Wednesday following reports a car had caught fire in the restaurant's waiting bay.
A woman had gone through the drive-through and was waiting for her order in the car park when she noticed smoke coming from the bonnet.
The driver got out of the blue Mazda and called triple zero before the car burst into flames.
