At about 12:55 p.m., South Hadley Fire District 1 responded to a car fire in the parking lot of Route 33 Pizza House at 2080 Memorial Drive. The blaze appears to have started by accident from a car battery, but the exact cause remains unknown, said Jake Wark, spokesperson for the Department of Fire Services.
“Anytime you have a fire in a vehicle there is potential for a serious fire,” Wark said. “There are enough flammable fluids and component within the engine compartment that a fire can get pretty serious even if it never gets to the gas tank.”
Fire District 2, Chicopee and Granby fire departments joined Fire District 1 to put out the fire within five minutes.
Wark said the driver of a Ford Bronco heard a “pop” under the hood while driving, and pulled into the parking lot. By the time he stopped the vehicle, the driver saw smoke and flames under the hood.
The drive was not injured, but one firefighter was transported from the scene for medical aid and is recovering, Wark said.
