A car on Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn, NYC erupted into flames this afternoon around 3:00 PM near the garrison headquarters building. NYFD was very quick to respond.
The exact cause of the fire is unknown to me, though I imagine he had to have left something flammable in the car. It wasn’t that hot at the time though, especially in the shade where the car was parked.
The fire melted the tires off and burned the car down to the frame back to the trunk, so it had to be burning hot and it took the NYFD a while to get the engine block to stop burning. I wonder if it had something to do with aftermarket modifications to the vehicle, or if the fire was deliberately set.
I guess I won’t ever know, but I was asked to provide a copy of the above video to an investigations team, I suppose to find out if it was a criminal act or an accident.
