Horrifying Moment Perth Car Explodes into Flames
A quick decision saved both the house and the life of a man in Perth after his car suddenly caught fire. Following a visit to the mechanic due to smoke coming from the bonnet of his Alfa Romeo, a Wilson resident was informed that a part needed replacement.
What appeared to be a simple repair turned out more complicated, with lingering problems. The owner returned to the mechanic, who ordered a new part but assured him it was safe to drive the car for short distances in the meantime.
One night, after parking the car in his garage, the owner noticed heavier smoke than usual. He chose to park the vehicle outside in the driveway and went inside. Minutes later, the car, owned for just two years, erupted in flames.
Hearing noise outside and banging from his neighbor, the driver rushed out to witness the severe damage and immediately called emergency services.
A DFES spokesperson said, "The Kensington fire crew attended the incident and extinguished the flames in around 20 minutes."
After ensuring everyone was safe inside the house, the owner was powerless as firefighters controlled the fire. WA Police reported no official statement had been filed regarding the incident.
