A report of a vehicle fire summoned Chillicothe Fire Fighters to the 900 block of South Washington Friday. The call came in at about 12:15 pm and the fire crew arrived a minute later to find the fire was out. The fire had been under the hood in the engine compartment of a Jeep. The driver said the vehicle backfired once and he noticed smoke coming from the hood area. Foster Fire Protection used several Dry Chemical Extinguishers on the fire before firefighters arrived. The engine area was cooled with a Pressure Water Extinguisher. No injuries were reported. The fire crew was on the scene for about 20 minutes.
