Description of the problem | I smelled smoke as i was pulling into a convenience store. I stopped the car beside a gas pump. At that time i saw smoke coming from under the hood. I popped the latch to look under the hood. I was trying to find the latch to open the hood and could not find it, so i looked under the unopened hood and saw a fire. I then got back into the car and moved it away from the fuel pumps and away from the building. I gathered up my phone and phone charger, popped the trunk to see if there was anything i needed to get out. I then backed away from the vehicle at a safe distance and called 911. The police and the fire department came and put the fire out. The car is totaled. The interior is burned up, the 2 front tires are burned up, the wind shield and both front windows shattered, the engine is burned up and the front half of the cars paint has been burned up. |
