I parked my 1992 mercury grand marquis on friday, 2/5/10, next to my home. Shortly thereafter, while in the house, I heard a "pop." when I looked outside, the car was on fire. I called 911 but by the time they arrived, found a fire hydrant that was not frozen, most of my home was on fire. The destruction was awful. I have not been allowed back in the house yet.
