While starting my car ( parked ) with the front passenger window down smoke began to appear from behind the passenger rear view window. I saw a flame ( fire ) appear from behind the passenger rear view mirror. When I turned off the vehicle the flame went out. After the fire none of the windows will work and the interior lights will not come on manually or come on as usual when the key is taken out of the ignition.
