Safe from fire

We had a scary thing happen last week....a car caught on fire in the parking garage (B2) which is where I also park my car. Thankfully, our gateguard heard the alarm and was able with another man to put out the fire with fire extinguisher and our fire hose system before there were any explosions...that would have been the end, if one had exploded, probably would have set off others. I remember waking up, smelling something like burning rubber, but didn't hear anything and just went back to sleep. Anyway, the only damage was a very BLACK car from the oily smoke....and of course, the lingering smell. Oh, I think the computerized parking mechanism (we stack our cars) was also damaged in that section of the basement. We are thanking God that there were no injuries. Too bad I didn't have a camera when I went for my car that morning....it was really quite amazing. You should have seen the eyes of the car wash attendant!
