A 1992 Dodge Ram 250 caught fire around 1:20 p.m., on Friday, July 23, in the New Marketplace Plaza parking lot.

The fire was likely a fuel-related engine malfunction, according to Sedona Fire District Fire Marshal Will Loesche.

Loesche said the driver tried starting the engine several times before the engine caught on fire.

The fire spread from the engine into the passenger side of the van as SFD firefighters arrived.

Damage to the interior front compartment was extensive. 

The fire was quickly extinguished by firefighters.

Sedona police directed traffic to other entrances.

The van was totaled, Loesche said. Due to the location of the fire in the engine, other vehicles parked on either side were not damaged.
