MIDDLETOWN — An older model Pontiac Grand Prix was totaled as a result of a car fire late Saturday, July 4.

Fire Capt. Todd Day said the car had been worked on for the past six months but had backfired and caught fire sometime before 5 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Lefferson Road and Aaron Drive.

When firefighters arrived, they found the car fully engulfed in flames that destroyed the engine compartment and melted most of the plastic from the fire’s heat, Day said.

He said no one was injured in the fire but the car was a total loss.
