Victoria Fire crews were dealt with another car fire overnight marking the third one in a three week span.
According to the Victoria Firefighters Association, an early-morning fire gutted a pickup truck in the Fernwood neighbourhood in the early morning hours on Friday.
Responding fire crews were met with flames in both the cab and the truck bed of a white pickup parked on the side of the road.
Firefighters with Engine 1 wasted no time in deploying the bumper line and using tank water to subdue the flames coming from the small truck.
While there was no extending damage to other property, many in the area were likely awoken by the vehicle’s front tires exploding from the heat.
On March 5th, fire crews were also called to the Kings Road where where the engine of an older model Toyota Camry caught fire outside the CHEK News studios.
In that incident, the initial call to the fire department provided an incorrect address, prompting a reminder from firefighters.
