On March 10, at around 22:39, firefighters in Kaunas were summoned to Rokų district, Vingytės village, where a car was reportedly on fire. However, the firefighters encountered difficulties in accessing the area due to the size of their fire truck unable to navigate a narrow tunnel. As a result, they had to proceed on foot, and a light vehicle from the Garliava team was sent to assist in transporting equipment to the fire scene.

Upon arrival, the firefighters found the vehicle, a Subaru Forester, engulfed in flames. They utilized four fire extinguishers and a non-flammable fabric to control the blaze. Simultaneously, they prepared a motor pump for water supply from an open water source, extending a main line 120 meters from the nearest water supply point to effectively combat the fire. Despite their efforts, all combustible parts of the car were burned during the incident.

Authorities have indicated that the fire was intentionally set, with the police reporting that the vehicle was deliberately burned. The incident highlights challenges faced by emergency responders in accessing remote or restricted areas, emphasizing the need for adequate infrastructure to facilitate emergency operations, particularly in the context of vehicle fires where timely intervention is crucial.
