Vehicle fire in Brantford spreads to garage

CTV Kitchener: Vehicle destroyed by fire A man escaped with minor injuries after a van he was working on caught fire, and the flames spread to a nearby garage.

One person received minor injuries Friday when a vehicle caught fire in Brantford’s north end.

Fire crews were called to a home near Dundson Street and Bernard Avenue shortly before 2 p.m.

They arrived at the home to find that while the van was burning, the person – who is believed to have been working on the vehicle at the time – wasn’t seriously hurt.

“There’s some substantial damage to the vehicle (and) the garage, and a little bit to the neighbour’s garage,” said Dwayne Armstrong, Brantford’s chief fire prevention officer.

An investigation is underway into the cause of the fire.
