Quincy Police Investigating Van Fire

QUINCY, MA — Police in Quincy are trying to figure out who attempted to light a van on fire Thursday night.

Debbie Neenan told the Patriot Ledger that the person stuck a rag in the gas tank and lit it on fire. They found out at about 10 p.m. after a person knocked on her door and told her husband that their van was on fire.

They put the fire out with a garden hose and called 911.

The fire caused a burn mark beneath the fuel tank but it was fine to drive Friday.

Neenan and her husband are not sure who would do such a think. Anyone who may have information about the case can call the Quincy Police Department at 617-479-1212.
