This is exactly what we don’t want to see!

It’s always hard to see a classic car like this 1935 Auburn Boattail get damaged while being enjoyed. In this case, the owner was out cruising in Bellingham, Washington on October 6 when the engine compartment suddenly caught fire. That’s not what you want to see as you’re rolling down the road. The guy did the right thing and stopped the car immediately.

The local fire department credits some nearby business owners for saving the car from being completely consumed by the blaze. They ran outside with their fire extinguishers and suffocated the fire before firefighters even arrived. This should be incentive enough for everyone to ensure they have fire extinguishers and that they’re properly charged.
