Consumer Description

I SMELLED SMOKE AS I WAS PULLING INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE. I STOPPED THE CAR BESIDE A GAS PUMP. AT THAT TIME I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I POPPED THE LATCH TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD. I WAS TRYING TO FIND THE LATCH TO OPEN THE HOOD AND COULD NOT FIND IT, SO I LOOKED UNDER THE UNOPENED HOOD AND SAW A FIRE. I THEN GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND MOVED IT AWAY FROM THE FUEL PUMPS AND AWAY FROM THE BUILDING. I GATHERED UP MY PHONE AND PHONE CHARGER, POPPED THE TRUNK TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING I NEEDED TO GET OUT. I THEN BACKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AT A SAFE DISTANCE AND CALLED 911. THE POLICE AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE CAR IS TOTALED. THE INTERIOR IS BURNED UP, THE 2 FRONT TIRES ARE BURNED UP, THE WIND SHIELD AND BOTH FRONT WINDOWS SHATTERED, THE ENGINE IS BURNED UP AND THE FRONT HALF OF THE CARS PAINT HAS BEEN BURNED UP.
