Quick action by a Lewiston police officer prevented any injury when a vehicle burst into flames. Officer Marcel Guay, directing traffic at the intersection of Lisbon and Ash streets, spotted the car when it caught fire. He quickly went to the vehicle, yanked open the door and pulled out the driver, a 78-year-old Lewiston resident. The man had parked his car at a metered space on Ash Street. He returned to the car and was trying to back the vehicle when it caught fire.
