There was a car fire just south of Steinbach early Wednesday morning.

Assistant Deputy Fire Chief Mike Penner says they got the alarm at 2:27 a.m. for a location along Highway #12, a short distance south of Hanover Road. He adds the fire was fully involved when they arrived and there is not much left of the 2002 Buick Le Sabre.

Penner says RCMP officers indicated they had seen the car parked on the shoulder about five hours earlier.

He adds the cause is not known at this time.

RCMP are continuing to investigate.
