VIDEO: Traffic on Red Cliffs Drive was diverted by the mall early Monday afternoon as firefighters worked to put out a vehicle fire. Firefighters and other responders were dispatched around 12:45 p.m. to the area just east of the 1680 East intersection where a minivan in the outer westbound lane had caught fire.
When firefighters arrived, they found the engine compartment of the minivan in flames, St. George Fire Chief Robert Stoker said. The fire was primarily contained to the engine block, though some of the fire made it inside the rest of van as well, he said. Though the minivan is likely considered a total loss, Stoker said, the driver was outside of the vehicle and unharmed.
