Videos show Amazon delivery van on fire in Zachary

ZACHARY, La. (WAFB) - An Amazon delivery van caught fire Monday, June 5, in a Zachary neighborhood.

It happened at around 1:30 p.m. near Loudon Street near Rollins Road.

According to Zachary Fire Chief Danny Kimble, the Amazon employee stopped to drop off some packages at a residence, then while he was on his way back to the van, he noticed the huge flames and smoke.

Chief Kimble believes the fire started due to mechanical issues with the van.

Firefighters were able to get the flames under control quickly when they arrived at the scene.

Former Zachary Councilman Lael Montgomery captured multiple videos showing the vehicle on fire.

Chief Kimble said there was some slight damage to a car that was parked close to the Amazon van.

A spokesperson with Amazon stated that the driver is okay and no injuries were reported.

“Impacted orders will be marked as damaged and replacements will be redelivered to customers. Customers can check their Amazon account for updates, but we appreciate their patience. We thank local authorities for their quick response and will continue to work with local law enforcement as they investigate,” the statement went on to say.
