I saw that car a couple days after it happened. We were up in Lake Arrowhead. It's a shame, if he would have driven it a half mile into town it would have survived.

good luck to him.

Why don't the fires ever happen in the high crime areas?

I was in a company building in Rancho Bernardo on the top floor overlooking the freeway and the various cul de sacs when the "Witch" fire jumped 10 lanes of freeway and started house after house on fire. It made me ill to watch. Everyone had been evacuated from their houses at 4:30AM via a reverse 911 set up after the 2003 fires, but the building I was in had no such feature. By the time I heard a shout of "get out - now" from the elevator, the 15 freeway was shut down, and you could see the burnt frames of cars of the last ones to come through. I was able to take surface streets south to the 56 and make my way over to the 5 and head north. The smoke was so thick that you could not even tell it was daylight in some spots.
A week later there were all kinds of remnants of cars noone had a chance to drive away, it happened so fast.

I bet there is no motor in it judging by the stance and SBC setting a few feet away
