Van goes up in flames

Engine 18 responded to a car fire just after 1:30 this afternoon at 6th Ave NW and NW 47th. When they arrived, they found this van engulfed in flames.

A Seattle City Light worker says he saw smoke coming from the van so he called 911. Moments later, he says, the van was in flames. We spoke with Steve, a friend of the van owner who says the owner lived in the van with a friend. He tells us that the owner had a propane tank along the side of the van that did not explode. No word on what caused the fire or if there are any injuries.
