Exploding tires awakened a resident who looked outside to find a car on fire early Thursday morning. The resident called 911 to report a car on fire in the parking lot of a condominium complex in the area of 55 East 700 South. “I believe what they heard was the front tires blowing out due to the heat from the fire,” St. George Fire Battalion Chief Darrell Imlay said. Firefighters arrived within four minutes of being paged to find the vehicle fully engulfed in flames. They were able to extinguish the fire quickly with the engine and crew that were first to arrive, he said.
