NEW 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L VAN CAUGHT FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRE STARTED IN THE STEREO/CD PLAYER. EARLIER IN THE DAY, THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING, SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. LATER THAT EVENING AS WE WERE DRIVING, WE SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE CD PLAYER BURST INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE BEGAN INSIDE THE CD SLOT. BLUE, YELLOW AND ORANGE FLAMES WERE SOON JETTING OUT OF THE PLAYER. AS WE PULLED OFF AND EVACUATED THE CAR, THE FLAMES WERE LICKING UP THE DASHBOARD, WITHIN MINUTES TOUCHING THE WINDSHIELD. EMERYVILLE CA FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE. *AK *SCC *JB
