It was a nice, warm, partly sunny day today in Lufkin and a local couple were just looking to purchase a new-to-them vehicle.

According to the Lufkin Police Department, around 1 PM the Lufkin Fire Department was called out to a report of a vehicle fire in the 500 block of North Timberland Drive.

Once firefighters arrived on the scene, there were flames coming out of the hood and undercarriage of a grey late-model Ford Fusion sedan. You might have seen this in the parking lot of In N Out Daiquiri, formerly Jacks Records and Tapes.
