#760509 | Fire
I WAS DRIVING IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC ON MY WAY TO WORK AT 6:45AM AND WAS ON THE ROAD FOR APPROX. 10 MINS. I SMELLED A STRONG BURNING SMELL, THEN NOTICED DARK BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DASHBOARD BY THE FRONT WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO A SAFETY ZONE, A FIRE HAD STARTED AND FLAMES AND MELTED PLASTIC STARTED DRIPPING TO THE FLOORBOARD. WITHIN 20-30 SECONDS, THE FLAMES HAD ENGULFED THE ENTIRE DRIVER SIDE AND WAS SHOOTING UP FROM THE CEILING OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT AND RUN UP THE EMBANKMENT ON THE FREEWAY. IN THIS VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME,THE JEEP WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND THE ENTIRE CAR BURNT TO THE FRAME. TOTAL TIME OF VISABLE SMOKE TO FIRE IN THE DASH WAS LESS THAN A MINUTE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT. I TURNED THE DIMMER CONTROL AND THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD ONLY BE ON FULL BRIGHTNESS OR OFF, THERE WAS NO DIMMER CONTROL. APPROXIMATELY 60 SECONDS LATER WE COULD SMELL SOMETHING HOT. APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES LATER WE NOTICED A GLOW COMING FROM UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD. WE WERE CLOSE TO OUR HOME AND TURNED INTO THE DRIVEWAY, AT WHICH TIME I WAS FORCED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DUE TO BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE LEFT AIR CONDITIONING VENT. I PULLED UP TO THE GARAGE,SHUT OFF THE IGNITION, PULLED THE HOOD RELEASE AND EXITED THE CAR. MY WIFE GOT OUT OF THE PASSENGERS SIDE AND IMMEDIATLY HEADED FOR THE HOUSE TO GET WATER. I HURRIED INTO THE GARAGE TO RETRIVE A PAIR OF PLIERS TO PULL THE BATTERY GROUND CABLE. AS I EXITED THE GARAGE FLAMES WERE VISABLE ABOVE...
