Narrative

OUR NISSAN ALTIMA GLE 2000 CAUGHT ON FIRE - ENGINE EXPLODED AND THE FULL FRONT OF THE CAR IS MELTED. FIRE DEPARTMENT MANAGED TO PUT OUT THE HUGE FIRE BEFORE IT REACHED THE GAS TANK OTHERWISE OUR HOUSE WOULD NOT EXIST ANYMORE. AND WE WOULD ALL BE DEAD. AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION WE HAD NOT ENTERED THE CAR THAT WAS WARMING UP IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. INSURANCE COMPANY IS INVESTIGATING. I CAN SEND YOU PICTURES. *TR
