Description of the problem | When driving home i pulled into my neighborhood and started to smell slight gas, when i get to my house a pulled into the driveway smoke started coming from under the hood. In an attempt to open the hood i noticed flames coming from under the car. I called 911 and my friend went to get a fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher did not work as the fire grew big and fast. When the fire department arrived the front of the car was completely on fire. No recent work has been done of the car besides regular oil changes. The car was driving perfectly fine and no warning lights or weird noises before it caught fire. |
