January 24, 2015
MASON CITY | Two vehicles were damaged after one of them
caught on fire around 4:10 p.m. Saturday in the Mason City Target parking lot.
A fuel leak in the engine compartment of a 1998
Oldsmobile likely started the fire, according to the Mason City Fire
Department.
It's owner, Tom Mulford, residence unknown, told the
department he left it running while he went into the store because it hadn't
been running well lately.

in front of it.
The front portion of both vehicles was heavily damaged,
according to the fire department.
The fire department did not know who owned the Nissan.
