ON 4 AUG 18, A FIRE STARTED WITHIN THE GARAGE OF [XXX]. WITNESSES STATED THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM THE VEHICLE (2014 FORD ESCAPE) LOCATED WITHIN THE GARAGE AND ENGULFED THE GARAGE. WITNESSES STATED THE GARAGE DOOR OPENED AND THE SMOKE POURED OUT, ONCE THEY RAN CLOSER THEY WITNESSED THE CAR'S ENGINE WAS ABLAZE AND REST OF THE CAR BURNING/SMOKING. I HAVE EXPOSED PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PROPERTY AND THE VEHICLE INSIDE THE GARAGE. I HAVE ABOUT 600 PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN IN DETAIL. THEY WILL GIVE AN OVERALL DEPICTION OF THE HOME AND WILL PROVIDE ALL FOR THIS CLAIM. I INITIATED FORD CAS [XXX] ON 20 AUG 18. I STRESSED EXPEDITION IS IMPORTANT DUE TO STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE SCENE. I HEARD BACK FROM FORD DECLINING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE INITIAL INVESTIGATION AND WAS INFORMED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S INVESTIGATORS. THEY'VE COMPLETED THEIR INVESTIGATION AND IT'S BEEN RULED THE CAR IS THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE; THE INTERIOR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BUT DO BADLY DAMAGED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE DUE TO MORE INVASIVE TESTING USAA WOULD NOT PAY FOR. I HAVE THE REPORT FOR YOUR REVIEW. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MOVED FROM THE SCENE AND NOW SITS IN A SALVAGE YARD, WRAPPED TO PRESERVE IT FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE HOME IN NOW BEING REBUILT AND COULD NOT WAIT 90 DAYS FOR FORD TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO COME LOOK AT IT. FORD SENT A LETTER ON 13 SEP 18 REQUESTING INFORMATION, PICTURES, AND TO 'PRESERVE THE SCENE' SO THEY CAN LOOK AT IT. I AM SENT THEM THEIR REQUEST BUT ANTICIPAT
