May 3—A car caught fire in a parking garage at the Just Imagine Child Care Center Friday morning at 406. E. Rowan Ave.

The fire didn't reach the building, Lt. Fire Investigator Shane Sanders said. The car had a mechanical failure with the power steering pump.

"It's a good reminder to always keep your vehicles in working order," he said.
