JEEP FOUND ON FIRE

Elyria – An Elyria Police Officer had just turned onto Olive Street from Cleveland Street early Saturday morning when he spotted smoke pouring across the street near the rail road tracks. He first feared that the fire might have been at the business that houses propane tanks but as he got closer he spotted a yellow Jeep in the parking lot just south of the tracks.

Officers blocked the area as tires and other items began exploding in the fire.

Elyria Firefighters arrived and extinguished the blaze. Fire Prevention Bureau Officers who had just finished up on West River Road South responded to the scene to inspect the burnt out Jeep.

The Jeep was registered to an Elyria Resident but they could not be reached Saturday morning.

The Jeep was impounded for further inspection by Fire Officers.
