Just over a week ago, DFEMS reported a vehicle fire on Capital Hill near the old Passport Office. The fire got started after the driver of the vehicle lost control and rammed a tree.<\/p>\n
Fire Investigator Benjamin Paul Manglona stated in his report that a 22-year-old male was heading home from Garapan when he lost control of his vehicle while trying to avoid potholes. The vehicle hit a tree, causing the fire to start in the engine compartment not long after the impact.<\/p>\n
According to a DFEMS press release, DPS officers reported the vehicle that was in flames at around 4:39am. The vehicle fire was contained at 5:03am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
