## Narrative
Sunday September 8 I plugged my Taycan into my charger at approxmately 1PM. Later  I went into my garage approximately 3PM to get something, and it was filled with smoke. After extinguishing the fire, I noticed the cause was the PLUG attached to the Porsche charger had caurght fire and melted the outlet which  then caught my garage wall on fire. Had I not been home, my house would have caught fire.
