A car fire on Hwy 88 at Hurricane Hill caused a Major Meltdown Sunday! A vehicle headed East on Hwy 88 caught fire and was fully involved in flames by the time firefighters arrived. The fire was extinguished and confined to the engine compartment and front end, but the car was a total loss. Witnesses say the driver stated that a friend had borrowed the car and caused front-end damage to the vehicle.  Firefighters suspect that damage caused an electrical short, which in turn caused the battery to overheat and the car’s wiring to catch fire. There were no injuries. CHP was still investigating. A Bill Lavallie story
