Van fire under investigation
Upon responding to a vehicle fire on the 1200 block of Isabella Street at 10:30 a.m. Friday, city police found an empty van “completely engulfed in flames” and “suspect it to have been stolen,” according to investigating Officer Richard Hoffard.
When city firefighters arrived at the vehicle, “the passenger compartment was all involved in the fire,” said City Fire Chief Todd Heckman, noting the severity of the flames.
There was no one in the car at the time of the fire and as of now there are no suspects, said Hoffard.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
