Car caught on fire

Yesterday morning at work I overheard a manager telling her subordinates a car was on fire over at the back of the parking lot.   She was walking to the skyway and saw it all.  As she was getting into the other building, the gas tank blew up.  There was one car next to the car on fire.  Good thing there was only one car next to the burning one, if not….. I can’t imagine the disaster!!

After 10 minutes of what I heard, the entire office were talking about this incident.  One of the managers’ husband works closer to the side of where the incident happened, he called her wife which she went right right to the skywalk to see what was going on.  I didn’t bother but so happened my coworker needed me to run downstairs to the copy center to drop stuff off, I was able to see the burnt up car with the fire trucks and men still out there.  The car next to it was still in one piece.

Speaking of car starting on fire on its own, my BIL’s car started on fire, too, last month, actually exactly a month ago.  The below pictures shows how bad it was.  What survived was the wife’s lawn mower.  The rest of the garage was useless.  He runs a detailing business in his garage and all the stuff were toast.  They have to tear the garage down and build a new one.  Man, that really stinks.

BIL’s Chevy Impala a gonner

The garage got it, too.

BIL said he came home from work, parked his car where he usually did, went in, changed, got something to drink, sat down and he heard someone shouting “fire”.  He didn’t think much about it til he heard much more commotion outside.  He went out and saw his car and garage on fire.   The engine started a fire and was so high, it got the garage also.  Dang, that is scary.
