Valley Fire is the busiest of the San Juan County Fire Department districts. This year, it has received more than 1,700 calls, and expects to reach 2,000 calls before the end of the year.

The Wade Fire Department responded to the blaze. ABC11 is waiting on the fire chief to provide additional details.

It is not yet known what caused the ambulance to go up in flames. We are still waiting to hear if anyone was injured.

The driver of the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene, Mitchell said. Their identity has not yet been released by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office.

Mitchell Burmeister, spokesman for Emergency Management Services, said six people were transported to University of Louisville Hospital with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries. Three of the injured were Emergency Management Services employees while another was a patient inside the ambulance.

The investigation temporarily closed a potion of Northeast 162nd Street.

The driver was alone in the minivan and there were no other injuries, per the fire department release.

"Just payback for the community," said Scott Raymond, manager of Auto Paint Repair. "You know, these guys will run into a burning building for us, so we owe them a little bit to help out and make sure they get undamaged and look right."

Workers got to sanding, priming, sealing, painting, polishing and finally detailing the three trucks. It was all done for free.

Auto Paint Repair's paint supplier donated the paint, too.

The crews say it was an easy decision because the firefighters deserve it.
