Emporia firefighters had their hands full Wednesday morning with a pair of vehicle fires.
The first one developed along the Kansas Turnpike near mile marker 115, southwest of Emporia around 9 a.m. Fire Captain Bill Harmon says firefighters arrived on scene to a Ford Bronco that was totally engulfed in flames. No injuries were reported but the vehicle was a total loss.
Separately around 11:15 a.m. a vehicle fire also was reported in the Walmart parking lot. Harmon says an electrical issue in the engine of a Pontiac Grand Prix sparked a small fire. No injuries were reported and the vehicle sustained only minor damage.
