On July 12, multiple incidents involving vehicle fires were reported across various locations, requiring the response of local emergency services. In Raseiniai, at approximately 6:59 p.m., an alarm was raised regarding a vehicle fire on the A1 motorway, connecting Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaipėda. Reports indicated that the Porsche Cayenne had caught fire.
Notably, local people arrived on the scene and managed to extinguish the fire prior to the arrival of the firefighters. Upon assessment, the engine compartment showed no signs of combustion, though a distinct smell of burning was present. Emergency personnel confirmed that the battery had been disconnected and was located beneath the vehicle’s seat.
Other incidents detailed the scope of the response. In Vilnius, two separate vehicles were involved in fires at a hospital facility. Furthermore, within the Vilnius district, an investigation was initiated into a burned car suspected of arson.
In Kaunas, a decorative Moskvich sustained a fire while parked near a flower saloon.
