At least one person suffered smoke inhalation during a vehicle fire this afternoon on Sawmill Road in Oliver.
Firefighters were called to Darcy Griffith’s auto recycling shop at approximately 4 p.m. to deal with a truck that burst into flames. The cause has yet to be determined.
Fire Chief Bob Graham called for an ambulance to treat someone who inhaled some smoke at the scene.
Media relations officer Rob Graham said the vehicle was one of the recycling trucks on the property. He confirmed the fire was inside the cab and the cause was deemed electrical in nature.
“The vehicle owner tried to extinguish the fire with a dry chemical extinguisher and did get hit with smoke from the fire.”
The individual received medical attention from firefighters until paramedics arrived.
