Consumer Description

ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, I DROVE HOME FROM WORK WHICH IS A 22 MILE COMMUTE. I ARRIVED AT HOME AT APPROX 8PM AND PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE. AT ABOUT 8:40 I HEARD A LOUD BOOM BUT WAS UNSURE WHERE IT CAME FROM. ABOUT 10 OR 15 MINUTES LATER I HEARD THE FIRE TRUCKS AND A NEIGHBOR BANGING ON MY DOOR. BLACK SMOKE WAS COMING THROUGH THE LOCKED GARAGE DOOR. THE FIREMAN UNLOCKED AND OPENED THE DOOR, THE ENGINE AND STRUCTURE WAS ON FIRE. IT TOOK ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO PUT IT OUT.
