Early Thursday morning, August 25th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a vehicle fire on Townsend Road approximately two miles from the electrical sub-station on Indian Mission Road.
Upon arrival of Engine #80-1, it was identified that an abandoned vehicle was on fire and fully burned beyond recognition. Engine #80-1 deployed a 1¾” fire suppression attack line to mitigate the incident.
It appears that the vehicle was a Lincoln SUV product and was abandoned on the shoulder of the roadway. The origin of the fire is being evaluated.

There were no firefighter injuries.
