Capt. Chad Van Orman, Orem Fire Department, said they were called out to the blaze at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. He said the cause of the fire is unknown, but after one car started to burn, another eight caught fire.

Van Orman said six of the vehicles were totaled and others were damaged by radiant heat. He said the fire was extinguished a few minutes after fire crews arrived.
