Although Victoria firefighters were able to quickly put out a car fire Wednesday night, the vehicle was destroyed.
The blaze broke out near the corner of Dowler Place and Bay Street just before 6 p.m. near the Island Farms dairy processing plant.
The fire at the front end of a BMW badly damaged the engine area.
There were no injuries and no damage to any property nearby.
A witness said she was barbecuing in her back yard when she saw lots of smoke nearby.
“I could smell it and so I came out front to see what was going on. And yeah there was just lots of flames and then I could hear the fire trucks coming,” Jackie May said.
“I thought it was me barbecuing. I thought I burnt it.”
Firefighters said the blaze did not appear suspicious and was sparked by an issue with the car’s engine.
