Vehicle fire snuffed at Lewiston car dealership

A vehicle caught fire Wednesday night at Valley Car Sales, but Lewiston firefighters quickly extinguished the flames before they could damage a nearby building.

Firefighters responded to the fire with a single engine at 10:41 p.m. at the used car dealership at 1825 Main St., Lewiston Fire Chief Travis Myklebust said.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation and the car was a total loss. An estimate of the damage was not available, Myklebust said. Fire crews were on scene for about 50 minutes, and no one was injured in the fire.
