Broadwater Vol. Fire Department

Broadwater Vol. Fire Department had some excitement on Monday of last week when a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta caught fire on Highway 26, the front end of it going up in flames moments later. The owner reportedly had been doing some work under the hood and took it out for a test drive when they heard a loud noise in the engine compartment and saw smoke. The driver managed to get it into their driveway and off the road before calling 911. Broadwater units had the fire out in a short time, and no one was injured. SARAH STRAWN
