Fire destroys truck in Nasewaupee

A little divine intervention may have helped keep an early morning truck fire to just that in the Town of Nasewaupee on Friday. The Nasewaupee Fire Department responded to the home on County MM just before 3:30 a.m. after the homeowners heard an explosion outside and found their parked truck fully engulfed. It took approximately one hour and 800 gallons of water to put out the fire, which resulted in the total loss of the car. Nasewaupee Fire Chief Jacob Schartner says the homeowner usually parks the truck closer to the home, which may have prevented the fire from becoming an even bigger disaster. The damage sustained to the truck will make it nearly impossible to determine the exact cause, though Schartner suggests it may have been electrical since the vehicle had been parked for approximately eight hours before it caught fire.
