COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office responded to a vehicle fire on Brush Creek Drive in Sand Creek Township on Tuesday at 3 a.m. Deputies found a truck burning just a few feet from a house.
When attempts to extinguish the fire with fire extinguishers were unsuccessful, officers used a truck with a tow strap to pull the burning vehicle away from the residence so flames would not spread to the home.
