EATON TOWNSHIP CAR FIRE

Eaton Township – A fire in the engine compartment of a car slowed traffic on Route 57 in Eaton Township Thursday afternoon as Firefighters extinguished the blaze.

A driver from LifeCare Ambulances Wheel Chair division was traveling south on 57 when he spotted the car with flames shooting from under the hood. Although he attempted to extinguish the blaze himself it was just too much, so with knowing that everyone had successfully exited the car – he backed away and waited for the Fire Department.

Firefighters from the Eaton Township Fire Department arrived a short time later and put the fire out and secured the car.

A witness to the event said that although the LifeCare driver wasn’t able to extinguish the blaze, he at least deserves an “atta-boy” for his attempts.
