February 2000 FireInjury

Car was perfect just came home from picking my mother up..son came home a few minutes later, less than five mins. And told me my horn was making a funny sound and car lights were flashing, I then went outside to see and noticed lights were on , and when I went to see if I left them on, I opened the door and noticed there was a fire in the front drivers side of the car. As I ran inside the house to get water to put fire out, I had my wife call the fire dept.
