That's how I almost lost my Coupe.My Hazard switch shorted and before I even knew what's happening my car was filling up with smoke and seconds later I had flames come out by the Gear lever.Luckily a Security Guard was close by and I managed to get water to fight the fire.That's a moment ill never forget,its terrible to watch your car go up in flames.If it wouldn't have been for the Security Guard I wouldve had to stand by and watch my car burn down to the ground.
omg thats awful ... sad sight ... ur friend must be upset but he can be glad he is alright ...
vehicle fires spread super fast, people carry fire extinguishers, these wont stop a vehicle fire but they can save a life so they are worth carrying ...
