Late Sunday night, Benton County Deputy and fire units responded to a location near the area where West King Tull Road and County Route 12 meet, about halfway between Prosser and Grandview,.

The fire quickly grew, engulfing the car and destroying it. When crews arrived the can was completely covered in flames.
