The only time I saw a car burst into flames- that is how it happened. It was back when there was an intersection at 146 ave and James McKevitt. (I recall because I got into an arguement with the 911 operator- she told me it was the same street.)

Anyways the people had left their car because it broke down on them. When I got there 10 minutes later it was smoking, and within another 5 minutes it was on fire. However unlike Jpold when I see a vehicle on fire I call the fire dept instead of gathering spectators. The firemen had it out within a minute or two, but the entire engine bay was toast- anything that wasn't made of steel was gone. Even some of the aluminum components had melted away.
