At 1:57pm Lake Carmel Fire Department was dispatched for a reported vehicle fire. 1723 arrived on scene and found a vehicle fully involved on the shoulder. The crew extinguished the fire and turned the over to NY State Police
Driving by just as owner opened his gas cap and fire was coming out. Not normal on a Corvette. Called 911. At least driver was out of vehicle already.. Was amazing to see gas cap open and fire emerge. That was a new sight. Towel wouldn't extinguish this one .
