A car fire around 9:30 p.m. last evening on Johnstone Road in Nelson spread to the bush, but was extinguished quickly.
The North Shore Fire Department, who were having their practice night, responded with four trucks and 14 personnel.
When they got there, the vehicle was fully involved and the fire had moved into the grassy area above it. But Chief Fred Schneider says they used water and foam to put out both the car and the grass.
There were no injuries.
BC Wildfire personnel and the Nelson Fire Department also responded.
