City fire crews were kept busy last night with two unrelated vehicle fires on Highway 400.
Barrie Fire and Emergency Service responded to the first fire just after 9 p.m., then returned to battle the second one at 11:20 p.m.
Both instances were in the northbound lanes of the highway, with one just north of the Dunlop Street exits, and the second one south of the same interchange.
The fire crews arrived at fully involved fires.
“They stretched lines and it took a couple of minutes to put them out,” deputy fire chief Derek Wilson said. “They monitored them to make sure they were fully extinguished before tow trucks towed the cars away.”
Wilson called the fires “a rare coincidence.”
There were no injuries and the vehicles were total losses, with the causes undetermined.
