| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 1998 ford explorer was parked in our attached garage. my wife used the vehicle earlier in the day and parked it in the garage at about 2:30 pm. at about 8:15 pm a smoke detector in the garage alerted us there was smoke in the garage. i opened the door between the laundry room and garage to see the left front tire of the explorer in flames. i immediately had my wife call 911 and i tried to extinguish the fire with a garden hose. this did not stop the fire. i then had to remove another vehicle parked in the driveway. we both safely escaped the fire. in the time between the call to 911 and when the corpus christi fire department arrived and extinguished the fire, two vehicles were destroyed, extensive damage was caused to the house and much personal property was lost. *jb |
