Extensive damage to two vehicles after separate fires in Moncton.
In the first, thick black smoke was reported coming from one of the bays at a Muffler shop on Mountain Road at around 5:15 pm.
Moncton Fire Acting Platoon Chief Paul MacFadyen says three crews were on the scene with another on standby a block away.
It’s believed a vehicle caught fire inside the building. There’s also significant smoke damage to the business.
It took firefighters around an hour to extinguish the blaze.
A second vehicle fire was reported at around 7:30 pm last night, also on Mountain Road.
This one involved a tractor-trailer at a gas station near Magnetic Hill.
Firefighters were on the scene for around an hour.
MacFadyen says there’s significant damage to one truck, while a second blistered from the heat and its tires were melted.
Both fires are under investigation to determine what caused them.
No one was hurt in either incident.
