Mill Bay Car fire Causes Double Trouble

At Approximately 0800, June 22nd, Mill Bay fire Deptartment was requested to a vehicle fire on the Trans Canada highway near Cobble hill Rd.

1 fire truck and crew responded to the call and extinguished what seemed to be an under the hood engine fire. The fire was contained to the engine compartment.

Mill Bay towing was on scene, hooked up the vehicle and procceeded to tow the vehicle to their compond just north of Fisher rd.

Before arriving to the compound, the quick thinking owner and driver of the tow truck, Chuck Felix noticed that the vehicle had reignited and was once again on fire, only this time, still attached to his tow truck.

Mill Bay fire Department arrived on scene to a fully involved vehicle fire. The vehicle was extinguished and subsequently removed from it’s location and taken to the towing compond.

Captain Needham of the Mill Bay fire Department said “This type of thing is very rare. On occassion there might still be a spark or ember burning. If let to sit, the vehicle would not re-ignite. We are glad no one was hurt.”
