Emergency crews responded to an engine fire in a hardware store parking lot this afternoon.

At around 3:45, the fire broke out just a few feet from the store’s entrance.

Fire fighters on scene say they suspect the engine overheated and eventually set fire, though the matter is still being investigated.

No one was injured in the incident but the fire consumed the entire front end of the car.
