A Friend of Wallyhood emailed us photos of a van fire that happened near the Wallingford Playfield earlier today. If you heard the Fire Department responding around that time, now you know what was up.
The fire took place around 11 am. No one appeared to be in or even around the van at the time of the fire, so there were no injuries. It may, of course, be a stolen and abandoned vehicle, but it appeared to be in pretty good shape (pre-fire, anyway). So maybe someone will be returning to it to get a nasty surprise. SFD left it where it was.
The driver, his daughter, and his dog all got out okay. I know he had to get his daughter and dog to neighbors’ houses, which may be why nobody was around when you went by, but I spoke with him after noon. What a depressing start to the new year, but I’m glad nobody was injured.
Yes we are all ok. Thank Goodness!! It happened so fast. fuel leak. Not depressing, just the roller coaster of life. I am so grateful to my neighbors who jumped in to help with my daughter and dog. It takes a village my friends. Do something right now to strengthen your village.
With Gratitude
