"THINGS COULD BE WORSE," was the attitude of West Plains resident Thomas Kazmir, whose day took a turn when he heard a popping sound coming from under the hood of his vehicle around 5 p.m. Thursday as he drove north on Lincoln Avenue. Kazmir said he was trying to park his 2017 Hyundai Tucson farther away from houses, but the engine compartment caught fire before he could. Firefighters and police officers were dispatched about 5:13, after being warned there was live ammo in the passenger compartment of the SUV, and the fire was under control at about 5:40. Kazmir was uninjured during the incident and tried to remain upbeat, although he commented he pretty much lived out of his car because he works a lot and most of his possessions, including his clothing, were in it.West Plains Fire Department Lt.
