WAKE COUNTY, N.C. — There have been two ambulance fires in Wake County in the past six months, and that has officials looking into whether other vehicles are at risk.The most recent fire happened Thursday on Six Forks Road in Raleigh.

"When I came out I saw flames, smoke, just the whole roof on fire," said Navida McNeil, who witnessed the fire. Fire investigators are still looking into what exactly caused Thursday's fire, which started in the vehicle's engine.
