Default Jeep fire on 15 south of Temecula

Got stuck in traffic yesterday.

Turned out to be a jeep unlimited after I got around the fire truck.

It looked pretty tricked out even with major fire damage.

Occupants appeared to have gotten all of their gear out of the back.

I hope everyone was ok.

Always curious about what causes these sorts of things?

Maybe it was an automatic and the transmission lines started leaking and caught fire on something hot?
I seen that too and it made me think. Glad everyone got out OK.

That was it. When I went buy you couldn't even tell it was white.

Someone was going somewhere for a weekend.



My buddy had his jeep light up 5 miles from the dealership in Mission Viejo. It was there having tranny work done and the mechanic left a bunch of rags in the engine bay.

Thank god for the fire extinguisher.

Ya it was crazy, I have seen some car fires before but that thing went up like nothing.

From what I heard through social media it was a family that was in the process of moving.
