Washington firefighters extinguish a stubborn fire under the hood of a Range Rover parked at a home on Spring Street Friday afternoon. Chris Morgan, owner of the vehicle, said that a power steering hose apparently split, spraying fluid on a hot exhaust manifold and catching fire. Firefighters put the fire out before it spread to the home just 10 feet away, Fire Chief Alan Poss said. Morgan said that it was his son’s vehicle and was covered only by liability insurance.
