Car fire on Kinzie Avenue

Kitchener Fire was called to a fire at 58 Kinzie Avenue late this morning.

Platoon Chief Greg Willett tells 570 News it involved a vehicle inside one of the garages at the Salzburg apartments, “it was a classic vehicle that has been in storage over a year, the occupant decided to today, get it out, start it up, and he was going to prepare it for sale. It caught on fire after he started it.”

The fire department is investigating what caused the fire to start.

Willett says it was a ’69 Corvette, and the damage value is not yet determined.

No fire damage inside the building, aside from to the garage, and no people were injured.
