Attacking the blaze, the firefighters quickly got it under control.

The vehicle suffered significant damage, but there were no civilian or firefighter injuries. The vinyl siding on the outside of the apartment building was damaged by the heat and units above the fire received light smoke damage.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.
