Walking with my family near the embankment in the coastal Bulgarian town of Pomorie, I noticed a small smoke near the car. I took out my camera and began to watch what was happening.
The owner of the car first hesitated, then took out a fire extinguisher but was still confused. We could clearly see from the side that the car caught fire from below.

When it became clear that one fire extinguisher did not help, they brought another one.

People are usually not ready for such situations.
It was necessary to open the hood and extinguish the engine from above.
But they extinguished the car from below and it did not help much.

Extinguishing a burning car gave only a temporary effect. The fire flared up.

Realizing that the car was not put out on its own, the owner decided to pick up the documents.

There were no firemen and police. The fire intensified. Observers from the people also increased.

When the car caught fire finally and it was not safe - the firemen arrived.

The firemen did not hurry, waiting for the tank to burn out.
They even retreated a little.

And the car was extinguished.

I was interested to see the firefighters and I went around the other side. To my implication, fire hoses were with holes and flowed trickles of a fountain here and there. But all the same they coped with the fire.

For 25 minutes from the new car there was a pile of scorched scrap metal.
But the main thing is that no one was hurt.
And the owner of the car managed to take the self of the fire on the phone.
So today we had a boring and even an eerie walk.

Good post my friend. Tks for a news.

Oh no that's not good, but everyone was ok.

Yes, everything worked out.

Wow, poor guy! Hopefully he can buy another one.

It seems that yes.

One time when I was driving my 89 Nissan Sentra I could smell gas as I would park the car. I took it to the shop and told them I smell gas. I told them to check it out as I don't want to be driving this car and be burned alive. They found the problem. the gas hoses were too old and where leaking gas. All the hoses and there where a lot of them got changed.

If this is a new car then something else is leaking gas. At least the gas tank didn't blow up.

There may be problems with the wiring.
