Morris fire crews were called out to a vehicle fire Tuesday evening along Highway 23, about 11km east of Morris.

Morris fire chief Wes Zilkie says a vehicle parked on the shoulder of the highway was engulfed in flames.

"We were out there for approximately forty five minutes," said Morris Fire Chief Wes Zilkie.

The lone occupant of the vehicle managed to escape uninjured. Highway 23 was closed to traffic for a short time.
