so my son wakes us up last night...

And sez, "there's a car on fire out in the street in front of the house."

So I got up , got my flashlight and headed out to see what was going on.

Sure enough, it was flamin. So I went back in while the wife called 911. The operator told her a unit had been dispatched so I snapped some pix.

This might have contributed to it.

I felt bad for the guy. Just a reminder, you don't need a fire extinguisher until you NEED a fire extinguisher.

There's a woman that parks her car near mine at my work. My co-workers and I have noticed a smell of gas from it for a while. I happened to see her the other day and told her she was leaking fuel. She just shrugged it off and was smoking near it to boot. I expect to see the car on fire some day soon. Hope my car is far enough away.

 

[T- Type Tim]

Spontneous combustion caused by the friction of the insurance and loan payents??????

Is that a huge trail of gas down the street? Did it catch on fire too?

 

[longball]

not sure what to see in the 2nd picture that contributed to it?

 

[Rafs-T-Type]

I thought it was a trail of gas, but if the fire was at night and the pic was in the am I guess most the gas would have evaporated by then

 

[TexasT]

Yes fire at night, pic of trail the next day

Was that a Z32? Those have fuel dampners that are known to go bad and leak. Usually it is just a minor leak and evaporates immediately so it is hard to trace.
