SUV blaze

damages downtown building

A sport utility vehicle was heavily damaged after it caught fire in downtown

Fayetteville Tuesday afternoon, but no one was hurt during the blaze, fire

officials said.

The 2000 Ford Expedition was parked in front of Fayette Floor and Wallcovering,

with the building receiving some minor damage, said Fayetteville Fire Marshal

Martin Mundok.

When the first fire engine arrived, the SUV was almost completely engulfed

in flames, Mundok said. It took five minutes for firefighters to get the

fire under control as another engine was called to the scene since the vehicle

was so close to the building, he added.

The fire started in the engine compartment of the vehicle, Mundok noted.
