Newton Fire responded to a vehicle fire at 100 W Main in Newton, where a van pulling a truck on a trailer had experienced a mechanical failure that started the fire. The driver of the van was able to stop the vehicle and exit without injury.
On arrival the van was fully engulfed and the fire had extended to nearby trees. No structures were threatened. Firefighters extinguished the fire before the trailer or the truck was damaged, but the van was a total loss.
When overhaul was complete, Newton Fire personnel remained on scene until the van was removed by a towing service. While waiting for the vehicle to be removed, a relative of the vehicle owner who was at the scene was complaining of possible diabetic symptoms. Squad 50 and Ambulance 160 responded to evaluate the patient. The patient was not transported and medical units left the scene.
After the van was removed by the towing service all Newton fire units returned to the station.
