Fireworks might be to blame for a fire that engulfed a van early Tuesday morning.
Firefighters responded just before 5 a.m. to 133 29th St. Dr. SE, where they found a van on fire. Fire Department spokesman Greg Buelow said the 1991 Dodge Caravan belonged to Thomas Cleghorn, and is considered a total loss.
Fire officials are currently investigating the case as arson.
Buelow said there were reports of fireworks from that location earlier in the evening, and evidence of fireworks was found near the scene.
No one was injured in the incident.
