Just before 7 p.m., South King Fire & Rescue personnel and Federal Way officers responded to a vehicle fire in the 2600 block of South 298th Street, according to Cmdr. Kurt Schwan.

Upon extinguishing the fire, officials found the remains of a deceased male in the passenger seat of the vehicle, Schwan said. The male victim has not yet been identified.
