The fire was called in at 6:15 this morning by the homeowner, followed by 2 additional 911 calls from witnesses in the area, and was extinguished shortly after crews arrived on scene.

The two vehicles burned and suffered significant damage.  Heat from the blaze melted the siding on the home next to the driveway.  National Grid and the Oxford electrical inspector were contacted to check the electrical main on the side of the home.
