I don’t think people understand, as well as, chains dragging, or axles breaking ( tire coming off and poof), pulling over on to dry grass ( underneath the car is hot) and fire is the result.
Yes, it was my daughter’s car, her car broke down and she pulled off the road and it ignited immediately, she is ok thank God and no one’s property was damaged. THANK YOU firefighters, helitak sheriff’s , you are appreciated
Pamela, I’m so glad your daughter is unhurt!
