Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 AUDI A-6 SEDAN. TODAY IT HAD A FIRE IN THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE. FORTUNATELY IT OCCURRED WHILE IT WAS AT HOME WHERE I HAD ACCESS TO FIR EXTINGUISHERS AND TOOLS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IT TOOK 3 EXTINGUISHERS TO PUT OUT THE BLAZE. JUST MOMENTS EARLIER, MY WIFE AND 5 YEAR OLD SON RETURNED HOME FROM CHURCH COMPLAINING OF A TOXIC SMELL IN THE CAR! WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THE SITUATION WAS NOT WORSE!*AK
