Car scorched in Suwanee SUWANEE - Firefighters doused a flaming Pontiac Grand Prix GT on Sunday afternoon in the 800 block of Brogdon Road in Suwanee, authorities said.

It was unclear if that person was driving the vehicle. Firefighters responded to the scene near the Next Level Baseball and Softball Academy at 1:55 p.m. and extinguished the fire about 15 minutes later, Rutledge said.
