One witness told the ECHO : "It wasn't pleasant obviously with having young children. It was a scary experience. I just hope everyone involved is okay."
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said: "Crews were on scene just after midnight on Wednesday, July 21.
"Two engines attended. On arrival, crews found a car on fire which had spread to the extension of a property. All people were already out of the property when MFRS arrived.
"Firefighters used a high pressure hose reel jet to extinguish the car fire and tackled the fire in the ground floor extension.
"There were no injuries but the car was severely damaged by the fire and the property sustained damage to guttering, wooden fence panels, a shed and its contents. MFRS left the scene at 1.47am and the incident was left with Merseyside Police."
