A man driving along an Ann Arbor street got a nasty surprise Saturday afternoon when a fire broke out in the engine compartment.

A man was driving a Volvo east on Miller Avenue near First Street on the west side of Ann Arbor about 3 p.m. when he saw smoke coming from the engine compartment, said Ann Arbor Fire Department battalion chief Robert Vogel. The motorist pulled over into a nearby driveway.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze.

The cause is unknown. No one was injured.
