<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chrysler">Chrysler</a> has agreed to replace a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/dodge charger pursuit">Dodge Charger Pursuit</a> and all of the police gear inside for free after the vehicle mysteriously burnt to the ground. As you may recall, a Curry County, Oregon sheriff's deputy saw his new cruiser (which had 6,000 miles on it) go crispy after stopping to assist in a search and rescue operation.<br />
<br />
Patrick Combs, the rescuee, was found and taken to a local hospital by ambulance, but deputy Jared Gray's new Charger Patrol didn't survive the scene. The fire seemed to take hold in the passenger-side front wheel well and continued to reignite after fire crews extinguished the blaze.<br />
<br />
There was one small caveat to the vehicle's generous replacement, however. In exchange for the new set of wheels, the sheriff's department had to agree to sign a non-disclosure, which means we may never know exactly what set the car ablaze.<br />
<br />
As our friends at <em>The J</em> point out, no reports of toasty civilian Chargers have been made to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/31/chrysler-replaces-dodge-charger-police-car-after-suspicious-fi/">Chrysler replaces Dodge Charger police car after 'suspicious' fire</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 31 May 2011 17:30:00 EST.
