Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company and EMS responded to a vehicle fire on Route 7 North just past the Exit 11 on ramp yesterday afternoon. Units arrived around 4:30pm and found smoke in the passenger compartment. Further investigation revealed a small fire in the under carriage of the low profile car. Being unable to access the fire area, firefighters used a stabilization tool and the Jaws of Life e-draulic spreader to lift the car to extinguish the small fire. Crews were on scene for about 40 minutes.
