Hybrid Car Blamed For Carport Fire
FREMONT, Calif. -- Investigators in Fremont say several cars are destroyed after a hybrid car started a fire at a gated condo complex carport overnight.
Crews were called to the complex on Oakwood Terrace in Fremont at about 2:45 a.m. When they arrived at the scene, there were four or five cars fully in flames. It took about 15 minutes for firefighters to control the flames.
Investigators were worried the incident was related to a string of suspicious fires recently in San Jose and on the Peninsula, but determined a Toyota Prius sparked the fire.
The condos were not threatened during the fire.
