A Jeep parked near the Colorado State University Administration Building caught fire Monday, resulting in visible smoke across campus and damage to multiple other vehicles.

At 12:22 p.m., CSU Police Services received a call that a small fire had erupted in the passenger compartment of the jeep before bursting into flames in a parking lot at the intersection of University Avenue and Amy Van Dyken Way.

Engine three of the Poudre Fire Authority was dispatched and arrived on the scene, eventually dousing the flames at 12:33 p.m.

Mark Swihart, a member of PFA and one of the investigators at the incident, said that a pickup truck parked on the passenger side of the jeep was heavily damaged, and a van parked on the driver’s side was lightly damaged.

No injuries were reported from the fire as none of the owners were present.

“The investigation is still underway,” Swihart said. “We know where the origin was because we had a bystander see the fire. Other than that, we are still investigating.”
