Description of the problem | On tuesday february 4, 2020 1:09pm my 2012 equinox vehicle caught fire 10 minutes after reaching my destination in a private driveway. The car was shut off, and locked with the key before entering the residence. Smoke was seen coming from under the hood followed immediately with flames. My concerns: 1) i had my pastor with me and this could have occurred while traveling; 2) my next destination was parking in my garage and i would have had a house fire. God was watching over us. |
