The Hopkinton Fire Department tackled a passenger vehicle fire on Chestnut Street on Monday afternoon.

Dispatchers received a call from a motorist around 2:10 p.m. stating his car had caught fire in the area of 33 Chestnut Street.

“The driver reported a mechanical issue prior to him pulling over and the vehicle catching fire,” reported HFD Lt. John Sheridan.

Fire crews arrived on scene and handled the fire quickly. According to a post on X, Engine 2 and Tanker 3 were brought to the scene.

“The situation was under control inside of 10 minutes,” noted Sheridan.

It is unclear what mechanical issue caused the vehicle — a retired police car owned by a private citizen — to go up in flames. The owner of the vehicle was uninjured.
