An SUV was destroyed Thursday morning after a fire consumed the engine compartment, Ann Arbor firefighters say.

Battalion Chief Robert Vogel reported firefighters were sent at 9 a.m. Thursday to the 200 block of Brookridge and found the SUV fully engulfed in flames. The fire was quickly put out, Vogel said.

The vehicle was a total loss, and investigators still are figuring out what caused the blaze, Vogel said. The woman who owns the SUV told firefighters the car had been having mechanical problems.

No one was injured in the fire.
