| Description of the problem | About 30 minutes after midnight on a thursday morning i was awoke by the sound of my dog barking and my sister walking into my room telling me there was a large glow in the driveway. After walking outside, we found my brand new 2015 wrangler on fire with very large flames erupting from the hood. We quickly woke the rest of my family and rushed frantically to put it out. An hour later, after nearby neighbors arrived to help, and emergency services arrived to put out the fire (local fire department and police) the vehicle fire was doused and the jeep was hauled off my property to a local towing yard. The fire seemed to have started around the battery area, but the source has yet to be determined. The fire claimed the entire engine compartment, most of the drivers dash board and drivers interior, and the entire front left tire/trim. |
