Fire At The Figure 8

By Alexis Mercer
On Tuesday evening at the Newaygo County Fair, the spectators got a little extra action for their money. One of the cars in the events burst into flames, causing the driver to jump quickly out of the car and the Fremont Fire Department to rush to the rescue.

No one was injured as a result of the fire. Spectators in Sky Box 3 were evacuated while the Fire Department handled the flames. The car was towed off the track and the events resumed as normally scheduled.
