This picture shows you something of what happened when I went into work this morning. The picture is from a security camera at work after the fun stuff had happened. It's not my car.
When I arrived at the office today, I noticed the landscaping crew was working on the east end of the lot. I don't like parking near where they work. Why be in their way? I do like parking near a door, so I drove past the back of the building to the west back lot. No parking spots near the doors, but I did notice that there was a fog. No one from the landscaping crew was nearby, so it wasn't them blowing dust and dirt away from the building. Maybe it was the construction along I-64. No, it was coming from between my lane along the fence and the building.
That's when I noticed the car smoking in the lot.
Needless to say, I parked away from it.
Walking past the car, towards the office, I couldn't help but notice the smell, the heavy black smoke and the orange flame licking out from grill.
That's when I started running (should have taken a picture first, but hey, it was a fire in a parking lot full of cars).
Due to no one answering the emergency line, I ran to the front desk and told them about the fire. That's when the bulding called 911.
The picture is from a little bit after the fire team left the scene from the security camera in the lot.
The red car's bumper was partially melted and the plate was scorched brown. Virginia uses blue on white. Get the picture.
Needless to say, it was a little harder today to keep ones mind on ones work.
