Tonight’s Vehicle Fire

11:50pm--#Bridgeport CT-- Today's vehicle fire was on Fairfield Avenue near Albion Street.  A witness told me the car hit a tree in the road divider in front of Krausers a little over a half mile away before the car caught fire.  A person in the nearby store helped put the fire out with a fire extinguisher.  The fire department also used dry chemical extinguisher instead of water so there would be no freezing.   Liking our posts will let you see more of posts, you'll also get updates when we post them!
