A state trooper helped try and extinguish a car fire in Hanson before firefighters arrived Thursday.
The trooper was first at the scene on East Washington Street and used two fire extinguishers to try and battle the blaze.
The stubborn fire continued to grow, but by this time, Hanson firefighters had arrived and were able to fully extinguish the fire.
The driver was able to get out of the car and evaluated by paramedics at the scene.
