Columbia firefighters Pete Martin, right, and Andy Gray extinguish a car fire on the sixth floor of MU’s Hitt Street parking garage Tuesday night. The owner was trying to jump-start another vehicle when the engine of his Ford Taurus ignited because of a short in the cables, Lieutenant Eric Hartman said.
