Well, since it was "fire officials" who fingered the Volt, I am assuming they saw something that pointed that direction. You can bet GM will watching this investigation closely.Devin said:It could have also been a can of gasoline, paint can, or some other combustible material that was stored in the garage. I am fairly certain it's got nothing to do with the Volt though.
I would be much more likely to have faith in the "fire officials" if they were, say, LAFD. But, according to the town's website...davewill said:Well, since it was "fire officials" who fingered the Volt, I am assuming they saw something that pointed that direction.

There are three fire departments located in Barkhamsted. The Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire Department, Riverton Volunteer Fire Company, and Barkhamsted East Volunteer Fire Company. The town employs one paid daytime driver/firefighter to assist the volunteers during normal work hours.

In fact the Volt IS a Hybrid. The Description is correct.
