According to Chief Spokesperson for MCFRS Pete Piringer, approximately 60 firefighters responded to the scene around 8pm. Occupants of the home heard a noise and discovered their hybrid car on fire in the garage. The occupants then attempted to fight the fire with a garden hose which delayed emergency response.
