Multiple 911 callers alerted the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District to this vehicle fire on Friday, May 22, 2026 in Woodstock.

Multiple 911 callers reported a vehicle on fire in a Woodstock Driveway Friday morning, and firefighters were able to prevent the flames from spreading to the buildings near where it was parked.

The Woodstock Fire/Rescue District was dispatched about 8 a.m. Friday to a home on the 400 block of West Judd Street for the reported vehicle fire, according to a release from department spokesman Alex Vucha.

Arriving minutes later, crews found a delivery-style step van parked in a residential driveway with heavy flames coming from the front of the vehicle.

Crews deployed hoses from the fire engine and from a nearby hydrant and were able to contain the fire to the vehicle and keep it from the adjacent garage or home, Vucha said.
