Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1996 ford econoline van was parked on my property. it started on fire which spread so quickly that the whole van was burnt before the fire department arrived. the fire department believes the fire started on the driver's side towards the front of the vehicle but can not determine what started it although we are still waiting for their report. this van was not parked near anything flammable nor was there anything flammable in the van. the fire was so hot the windshield melted. we now have no van and no explanation of why it would start on fire. the sheriff's department said they would not take a report unless the fire department suspects arson.
