The cab of a parked pickup truck was extensively damaged by fire in Chillicothe Saturday evening.
The Chillicothe Fire Department reports the owner of the truck, Steven Drechsel of 1555 Bryan Street used a dry chemical fire extinguisher to put out most of the blaze. Firefighters used a hand line to finish cooling the dash area in the passenger compartment.

Chillicothe firefighters were on the scene about ten minutes.
