CLEAR LAKE, Iowa – A discarded cigarette is being blamed for an early morning fire that destroyed a minivan.
The Clear Lake Fire Department was called to the 800 block of Maple lane just before 3:30 am Saturday for a car fire. Two engine companies, one ambulance, 10 firefighters, and two medics responded.
The Clear Lake Police Department arrived at the scene first and says flames were consuming a 2000 Toyota Sienna in a driveway, parked closed to a house. Firefighters then quickly arrived and extinguished the blaze.
