Everyone has those days where they look out the window and see a van engulfed in flames....well, maybe not...but I did yesterday!
Ok let me start from the beginning. I was helping a customer, when suddenly a van pulled onto the curb outside our office building. After the driver got out and started walking hastily towards our building, I started to worry about what might be happening. When the driver got to the building, she told us that she thought the car was on fire. I waited for a few seconds, and saw smoke starting to seep out from under the hood. The smoke got worse, so I dialed 911 to get a fire truck out asap. Halfway through the phone call, sparks started dropping from the engine block and a few seconds later, flames shot out from under the hood. I reported these facts and hung up to go get a fire extinguisher from the back.
An EMT had made it on scene and took the extinguisher from me to go and slow down the fire.
Once the trucks got there, they made short work of whatever flames were left.
Here are some photos of the highlight of my week!
Quite a chaotic event! Thank God no one was hurt.
