BOX ELDER COUNTY — A car fire in the parking lot of the Lakeshore Learning Factory on Thursday morning damaged three vehicles, according to the Garland Fire Department.
Firefighters were dispatched to the scene at approximately 8:53 a.m. on Aug. 15. The Garland Fire Department requested assistance from the Tremonton Fire Department due to the fire’s “rapidly developing conditions.”
The fire started in one vehicle and spread to two others, charring one car from the inside and melting the side paneling and mirrors of the two adjacent vehicles. A total of five vehicles were involved, but firefighters were able to prevent the flames from spreading to others or the nearby building.
No injuries were reported.
The Garland Fire Department credited the Tremonton Fire Department with being “instrumental in preventing further damage or injuries.”
An investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.
