Truck Fire In Mirror Lake

Senter Cove Guy · 10-10-2008, 08:14 AM

Last night, on our trip up from CT, we were passing through Mirror Lake on route 109 at 11pm. We noticed a small fire in the back of a small pickup truck that was parked in a driveway in between a car and another pickup truck. I had my wife call 911 on her cell and I went to a nearby house and obtained a fire extinguisher. I was able to quickly extinquish the fire which had quickly doubled in size. It would not have taken too long before there could have been a major problem.

The cause of the fire was spontaneous combustion of some painter's rags that had been tightly wrapped and were sitting in the rear of the pickup truck bed. The truck bed and tailgate sustained some minor damage. Tuftonboro police and fire arrived within minutes.
