Fire damages vehicle on Loftus St.

A vehicle sustained significant damage from fire on Loftus Street yesterday afternoon.

Three trucks and ten fire-fighters responded to 105 Loftus around 2:30 to the report of a vehicle on fire between two residences.

When crews arrived, they found the vehicle’s engine compartment on fire and quickly put it out. The owner of the vehicle, Holly Odoms of Loftus St., told fire fighters that she was unable to shut off the ignition before the fire.

That same electrical issue likely also caused the fire. There is no dollar amount listed for a damage estimate on the report.
