Busy Night for Walhalla Fire Fighters

Walhalla Fire responded to a reported car fire in the 600 block of Pickett Post road round 11:00 pm on Sunday night.  Engine crews arrived to find two vehicles parked side by side on fire.  The surrounding vegetation was also on fire.  The fire was quickly extinguished, but both vehicles were completely destroyed.

At 3:20 am Monday morning Walhalla Fire responded to a report of power line and transformer fire on Lakeside Dr.  Upon arrival there were live lines on the ground and small vegetation fire.  Duke Energy responded to de-energize the lines so the fire could be extinguished.  Fire spread was minimal due to the well maintained lawn at one of the residences. Walhalla PD also responded to assist.

No injuries reported at either fire. The vehicle fires are being investigated but not considered suspicious.
