An SUV caught fire in the Victoria Plaza parking lot shortly after 1:00 Wednesday afternoon.

Steinbach Fire deputy chief Ron Chausse says the fire was contained to the engine compartment.

"We did have a member here that was on scene ahead of the first engine and he was able to use a fire extinguisher from one of the local businesses here to tone this down."

Chausse says crews used foam to prevent any reignition and then had the vehicle towed.
