    Fire is out. Trees and house above the car never caught fire. But the house probably stinks for a night or two. Quick response by local fire dept. Thanks!

      Thanks! Drove by on the way back from the meeting I was covering tonight, SFD gone, just hints of foam around the car…

        Apparently the car on fire (good samaritan) was jumping the red car and might’ve mixed polarity and caused sparks, fire.

    Was there shortly before…   this car and another were parked there and the hood was up.  They weren’t there to get a big gulp and go.  It seemed like they were having car troubles.

Sorry, comment time is over.
