Nearly Simultaneous Vehicle Fires
(GERING, Nebr.) — Two vehicle fires broke out Tuesday afternoon, as alert Scanner Insiders were on scene in both locations.
Scanner traffic indicated a vehicle fire on Avenue R in Scottsbluff, while another hyper-aware Scanner Insider spotted fire underneath an SUV in Gering near the Fire Hall.
The driver, who many believe is named Buck, pulled his ADI K-9 vehicle into the Gering Civic Center parking lot after being alerted of the fire underneath.
Many were praying for Buck and his dogs, which were not with him at the time.
Gering Fire Department was on scene immediately to extinguish the blaze, captured on photo by a Scanner Insider.
The first vehicle fire broke out on Avenue R in Scottsbluff and was also extinguished immediately as shown in the scanner photo below.
