1994 FORD CROWN VICTORIA

AFTER DRIVING 30 MILES, I PARKED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY AT MY HOME. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE UNDER THE ENGINE HOOD. I ATTEMPTED TO UNLATCH THE HOOD BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUE TO THE UNLATCH CABLE BEING DESTROYED BY THE FIRE. THE FIRE HAD MELTED A BIG HOLE IN THE HOOD AT THE LEFT REAR CORNER AND HAD DESTROYED THE WINDSHIELD IN THE SAME AREA. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE BY USING A WATER HOSE AND SQUIRTING THE WATER THROUGH THE MELTED HOLE
