Las Vegas firefighters on Monday afternoon put out a vehicle fire near the Spaghetti Bowl.
Fire officials were called to the Interstate 15 offramp onto Martin Luther King Boulevard at about 4:10 p.m., Las Vegas Fire Department spokesman Tim Szymanski said.
The owner told officials that he smelled something burning, pulled over and called 911, Szymanski said. Within minutes, firefighters arrived at the scene.
Officials have not determined how the fire started but ruled the blaze accidental. Firefighters left the scene by 5:15, Szymanski said.
