Steinbach Fire Department was called to a vehicle fire just south of Steinbach late Sunday afternoon.

The call came in just before 5 pm at the intersection of highway 12 and highway 303. Deputy Fire Chief Ron Chausse says a truck pulling a stock trailer was traveling south on Highway 12 when the occupants noticed smoke. "They pulled over onto the shoulder, there was a fire in the engine compartment so they managed to disconnect the trailer." 

Chausse adds they are unsure how the fire initially broke out but there were no injuries.
