Car Catches Fire At Westford Gas Station

WESTFORD, MA — A car parked next to the Mobil gas station on Littleton Road caught fire Friday afternoon. The driver was from Connecticut and was headed to his son's wedding when the car caught fire, according to Westford officials.

Captain David O’Keefe said someone called around 2 p.m. to report the fire and when firefighters arrived they found the car fully engulfed in flames.

Crews were able to put the flames out using about 600 gallons of water in about an hour, O'Keefe estimated.

There were no injuries, and O'Keefe called it a typical car fire.

"The cause of the fire is still under investigation," he said.

Aside from some drivers nearby slowing down to watch the commotion there was no significant impact to traffic, O'Keefe said.
