Vehicle was parked and it caught on fire. Owner was notified by nephew that the vehicle was on fire. The fire department was notified, and extinguished the blaze. A report was taken, and the cause was determine dto be the ABS sensor and or the cruise control where the fire originated.
My vehicle was functioning fine. I ran an errand, came home , parked my 2002 ford expedition under the parking shed and went into the house. Not over 45 minutes later my younger sister came and told me that my car was sparking and smoking. When I went to check on my truck I could see smoke and flames. I ran into the house to get the fire extinguisher and used it to put the fire out.
