A vehicle that was on fire near a house at 2560 Pratt Road has exploded. The fire is believed to have spread to the structure. East Pembroke Fire Department is responding along with a tanker from the Town of Batavia.
A firefighter says a large amount of black smoke can be seen from the Indian Falls bridge.
A woman at the residence who called 9-1-1 in a panic was told to evacuate the house.
The location is between Slusser and Powers roads.
"Be advised -- it looks like it hasn't spread to the house yet, just the vehicle in the driveway," says a responder.
UPDATE 2:37 p.m.: Town of Batavia is told "to take their time coming in."
UPDATE 2:39 p.m.: The fire is under control. They are looking for hot spots. Medics are called for a person who suffered some minor burns when the fire "flashed over."
