Shortly before noon today, Saturday, Orland firefighters were dispatched to a report of a fully involved vehicle fire at 67 East Walker Street, the address for Metro T-Mobile.

The Honda was actually parked in the westernmost parking spaces for the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) employees in the Glenn Success Square, 125-127 East Walker Street.

During the fire, a loud pop was heard, the result of a tire exploding.

The owner of the vehicle was unknown, as it had not been registered since 2015. The California license plate was 6SHN536.

Arson investigators were expected to arrive from Hamilton City at about 1:15 p.m.

A week and a day ago, Orland firefighters responded to a vehicle fire in the 600 block of East Walker Street. Five juveniles were believed to be responsible for that incident.
