While enroute, Communications advised that the homeowner reported their vehicle had exploded into flames and was still on fire parked next to their house. In addition, a propane tank was next to the vehicle. First arriving units found a large detached garage & vehicle fully involved, with the majority of the building already burned down. In addition, the propane tank was venting due to the heat. The Huntingtown Volunteers arrived on location and assisted with extinguishing the fire & overhaul.
