Fire crews have responded to two vehicle fires in the area.

The first was near Nipawin Monday afternoon, when the Nipawin Fire Department was called to a car fire east of town.

The vehicle owner quickly called 9-1-1 when she saw smoke and flames coming out from under the hood while she was unloading groceries.
