On arrival there were 5 cars on fire. An aggressive attack by Engine 1 crew with the support of Engine 2 shortly after had the fire under control in minutes.
Weather was a factor and becoming increasingly dangerous. The salvage company was able to remove the burned vehicles to a wide open field, with the rain they posed no additional danger to the rest of the property.
This incident is not considered suspicious as weather was likely the cause.
Lt. Jake Myrland, Public Information Officer, Belleville Fire Department
