Death Valley National Park: Vehicle fire at Dantes View
"DEATH VALLEY, Calif. – A car caught on fire at Dantes View in Death Valley National Park on Sunday, July 21. No one was hurt, but the vehicle was destroyed."
"The cause of the fire is not known but is suspected to be an electrical issue. This is the fifth vehicle fire in the park in the past year. Most vehicle fires in the park are due to brakes overheating on long, steep descents.
Amargosa Volunteer Fire Department and Pahrump Fire Department responded to the fire. The National Park Service fire engine was unable to respond due to insufficient numbers of fire-trained staff available. Park rangers did respond in patrol vehicles.
