Moose Jaw Fire Department and Moose Jaw Police Service members were on scene at the corner of Ninth Avenue Northeast and Fairford Street for a car fire on Thursday afternoon.

There were no injuries in the blaze, which vehicle owner Meagan Windover said started as she was driving west on Fairford. She noticed smoke coming from the passenger side of the vehicle, and upon pulling over and checking things out, saw flames coming out of the front right of the SUV.

The fire was small enough at the time that Windover was able to salvage some items from the vehicle, but by the time the fire department arrived the blaze had covered much of the engine compartment. Firefighters were able to quickly get things under control and prevent potential spread.
