A person was hospitalized after a vehicle fire Sunday on Lady’s Island.

A Toyota van caught fire late Sunday afternoon in front of an office building on Fairfield Road, Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District spokesman Scott Harris said. A passer-by saw smoke and flames coming from the van and someone inside and called 911.

Firefighters arrived at about 5 p.m. to the vehicle engulfed in fire, Harris said. The flames were extinguished before they could spread to a nearby building.

A male inside the van was taken to the hospital by paramedics. His condition was unknown late Sunday, Harris said.

The fire was ruled an accident, Harris said.
