The vehicle was parked when we were informed that there was smoke coming from our vehicle, I went to investigate and found that the vehicle was smoking terribly, I raised the hood and there was fire, the fire department was called, we got a fire extinguisher and proceed to put the fire out. The fire dept. Arrived and finished up and wrote up some information. I had the vehicle towed home where it now sits.
