D.V.F.D. Responds To Vehicle Fire Sunday Afternoon

Sunday, Dec. 28, first responders were called to a residence off Highway 278 for a vehicle fire.

According to officials, the vehicle owner had started their truck to warm it up in the cold weather and left it running while attending to other tasks. A short time later, flames were observed coming from the vehicle.

Thanks to the quick actions of the vehicle owner and a rapid response from the Dillon Volunteer Fire Department, the fire was quickly contained and extinguished. Damage was limited to the vehicle, and no injuries were reported.

Firefighters were unable to determine the exact cause of the fire, but believe it may have been the result of a faulty fuel connection.
