The Portage Fire Department was called to a car fire last night at 9:17 p.m. in the driveway of a home at 501 8th Street NW in Portage la Prairie. Firefighters arrived on the scene with the fire ablaze in the front end of a white Trail Blazer, causing some concern. The vehicle was parked in a tight situation between a fence and garage with low hanging boughs overhead. The fire was extinguished without any serious damage to the garage and fence, and without having caught the tree on fire, in a rather fortunate outcome to what could have been very serious. Nobody was hurt.  The incident is currently under investigation.
