Steinbach fire crews extinguished a vehicle that was on fire just south of Mitchell on Reichenbach Road Monday afternoon. 

Assistant Fire Chief Russ Reimer says the vehicle was well up in flames when they arrived, so they quickly put it out with foam and water before a grass fire could start in the ditch.

"According to the owner, it was just someone who was test driving the vehicle," notes Reimer, "and then it lost power and then there was fire under the hood. From there, with the time it takes for us to get here, it managed to really get going."

Reimer suspects it was an electrical issue but adds there were no injuries.
