Four vehicles catch fire at a Toms River home

Four vehicles went up in flames at a Toms River home on Wake Forest Drive Sunday afternoon, according to police. 

72-year-old Stanley Wainwright was in his driveway working on his 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Sierra when a fire broke out in leaves under the vehicle, according to Police Department spokesman Ralph Stocco.

Stocco said Wainwright reported hearing a loud pop as he started the vehicle, and that's when it quickly became engulfed in flames and spread to a 1989 Toyota camper-van, a 1990 Winnebago camper-van, and a 1990 Ford Econoline Mini Bus. All four vehicles were completely destroyed.

East Dover Fire Company responded and extinguished the fires. Toms River Fire Prevention Officer Kevin Esposito responded and assisted Officer Samantha Sutter with the investigation.
