An investigation is underway after a vehicle fire in northern Lyon County on Sunday evening.
Allen-Admire firefighters were paged to Roads 310 and L, or about four miles south of Allen, shortly before 5 pm. Early indications are a pickup truck caught fire and was getting into nearby grass when fire crews reached the scene. The truck was reported as fully engulfed in flames, but the fire was put out quickly.
There is currently no word on a cause or any damage to nearby grass.
Firefighters worked quickly to avoid a repeat of a fire near Roads 240 and V outside Reading on Oct. 21. That fire started in a grain truck, moved to nearby grass and burned at least 300 acres before it was contained and extinguished.
