Car fire at Lewiston and Meadville roads in Alabama

By Billie Owens

A car fire "with complications" is reported at Lewiston and Meadville roads in Alabama. Alabama firefighters are dispatched.

UPDATE 5:46 p.m.: Apparently the fire is out. No idea what the complications were. The vehicle was a Chevy Camaro registered to a Gasport driver. A tow was called to haul it away.

UPDATE 5:50 p.m.: Alabama is back in service.

Going out on a limb here but seeing it was a beautiful day out and you specify a chevy camaro but not what year, this "may" have been a hot rod, that "may" have had a power adder on the vehicle, say like nitrous! Even though nitrous is not flammable the car owner may have mentioned it as a precaution. Again, I am TOTALLY speculating here, but it's where my head went to after reading the article.

Interesting thought, Shannon, and strikes me as not unreasonable speculation, but for a report like this -- coming entirely over the scanner -- we don't have those sorts of details.
