EFFINGHAM — No one was injured Sunday when a hybrid SUV caught fire on Route 25 near the intersection of Route 153 north. 

Fire crews were dispatched at 2:25 p.m., and when they arrived, they found a hybrid Toyota Highlander SUV fully involved in flames and the fire was spreading into the woods. It took about 4,500 gallons of water and several gallons of foam to extinguish the fire. Crews were on scene for about an hour.
