This morning on 14th Street: Vehicle fire, no injuries

No injuries were reported after a vehicle caught fire this morning on 14th Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue, directly across from FDNY Engine 5. 

An EVG reader shared these photos. According to information from the scene, the driver was waiting for a family member to exit the post office on the west side of the street when the vehicle suddenly caught fire.

A nearby building super attempted to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher before the FDNY quickly extinguished the blaze.

I thought I smelled something burning this morning when I went out but did not know where it was coming from. Thanks for this notification.

Glad everyone is ok. Scrolling down I expected to see a Tesla.

Few places better for this to happen than right across the street from a firehouse like this
