MALAD – Two people safely escaped a vehicle fire along Interstate 15 near Malad Friday afternoon.

It happened about 2:45 at mile post 7, according to Oneida County Sheriff Doug Williams.

In an email to EastIdahoNews.com Saturday, Williams says a driver, whose name he didn’t specify, and a passenger, were traveling along I-15 in a 2018 Entegra Odyssey Motorhome pulling a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Somehow, the Jeep caught fire. The pair tried to detach it from the trailer but were unsuccessful. The blaze quickly spread to the Jeep and started a grass fire on the east side of I-15.

The Malad Fire Department put it out within minutes of arriving.
