The blaze was sparked around 1:30 p.m. at a local auto wrecker.

“My concern with the wind blowing was it was going to spread to more cars,” said Lumby Fire Chief Tony Clayton. “With the assistance of Lavington Fire Department we were able to contain it.”
The blaze is believed to be accidental, and not suspicious in nature.
