A Chevrolet sedan caught fire at the Russell Square Apartment complex.
The owner said they started the vehicle with a remote starter, went back inside, and came out to find the vehicle engulfed in flames, Twin Falls Fire Department Battalion Chief Eric Schmitz said.
The vehicle was a total loss but no other structures or vehicles were damaged, Schmitz said. The vehicle was under a metal carport that helped contain the fire. The official cause of the fire is undetermined.
Schmitz cautioned drivers on making changes to their vehicles without the assistance of a professional.
“Careful on doing your own modifications to any electrical or engine components, especially when it comes to high voltage stereos or speakers” Schmitz said.
