CHEHALIS – A body was found inside a car after flames were extinguished overnight in Chehalis.
Firefighters were called just before 1 o’clock this morning to the 1900 block of Northeast Kresky Avenue for a vehicle fire and found it fully involved, according to the Chehalis Fire Department.
It was about 12 feet away from a two-car garage associated with a manufactured home near the southeast corner of the Yard Birds Mall property, Fire Capt. Casey Beck said.
Once the fire was put out, Beck said, he shined his flashlight inside and saw there was a deceased person in the driver’s seat.
Law enforcement was at the scene before the fire crew arrived, he said. Police Chief Glenn Schaffer and Fire Chief Ken Cardinale came out, he said.
The car was a 1992 Honda Accord with Washington license plates, according to Beck.
The incident is under investigation. Nobody was available from the Chehalis Police Department this morning to answer any questions.
