Description of the problem | My husband, son, nepew & friend went catfishing. Approximately 5 am they got into the jimmy to warm up/started engine & turned on heater. They fell asleep, my husband woke to find the car engulfed in flames. They all got out but were traumatized that my son has nightmares still. Nephew is afraid to ride in a car/ my husband cried, which he rarely ever does and can't sleep. There is more info to give but would like a response from you. Thank you. *ak |
