Description of the problem | On june 5, 2016 @ 2:00am i was awakened by popping sounds from outside. I got up to see an orange ball of light, i went to the window and felt the heat from it and seen my jeep was on fire. If not for the fire department showing up my house would have likely burned also. The car was parked under the carport in the driveway and no one was driving it the previous day. |
