February 1997 Fire

I parked my 1994 jeep wrangler outside my workplace at 6am the morning of 4/4/12... At 11am I finished for the day, left my jeep where it was, and went for a run around where I work. At 11:27am my office manager called my cellphone and begged me to come back right away "your jeep is on fire!!! Oh my god, it's gone!!! Now the woods are on fire!!!". I ran back to find 3 fire trucks, my jeep nothing but a charred shell still on fire.
