THUNDER BAY -- A vehicle fire has caused some damage to the exterior of a south side home.
Thunder Bay Fire and Rescue Service were called to a vehicle fire Thursday morning that had spread to a home on the 400 block of Brock Street East.
According to a release, a passerby called 911 to report a vehicle on fire that had spread to an adjacent 2-storey residential structure.
The first arriving pumper crew prevented the fire from extending into the interior of the home.
Firefighters worked to extinguish the vehicle fire and control it from spreading further into the house while other firefighters entered the home to search for any occupants.
The fire caused heavy damage to the vehicle and some moderate damage to the exterior of the home.
The fire is believed to be caused by a faulty extension cord plugged into the vehicle’s block heater.
