Police have said the fire began after a driver lost control and crashed into a tree on Camp Road.
They said a young driver was travelling from the Eaglehawk-Neilborough Road and came around the bend "too quickly" before coming onto gravel and hitting the tree.
The car burst into flames, but the driver managed to get out of the vehicle unharmed.
