Rural Metro Crews Contain Burning Vehicle on South Pass Road in Merlin Area
Firefighters were successful in containing a burning vehicle in the Merlin area last night.
On Monday at 7:53 p.m., Rural Metro Fire Department was alerted to the vehicle fire on South Pass Road.
Rural Metro officials said crews were able to put out the fire and keep it from spreading into nearby vegetation. They said heat from the burning vehicle melted an unoccupied portable toilet.
Officials said the cause of the fire has not yet been determined. The owner told them it had been parked there since early that morning.
The incident occurred at the exact same location as a fire that leveled a home and several vehicles one year ago.
