## Narrative
My car was parked in the car port.  The rear back light on the driver side caught on fire.  The police and fire department were called.  I was not at home at the time, my neighbors used a plastic container to put out by time the fire department got there.  The firs department stated that is was faulty wiring. I am waiting for the report from police, fire department, and insurance representative.  The car was parked and there was no waring lamp.  Fire department had to disarm my car alarm. I will be calling the dealer after this.
