## Narrative
I was driving with traffic in a 35 mph zone on a moderately busy street.  I got the alert to brake and did so immediately. I collided with the Jeep in front of me.  The airbags did not deploy.  The front hood of the car tented and a fire immediately broke out under the hood.  When a policeman arrived he attempted unsuccessfully to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher.  The fire was eventually extinguished when the fire department arrived.  The car was towed away.  The insurance adjuster said the car was totaled.
