Our burned up Volvo Wagon - a picture story

Like many people do,
we loved our "safe" Volvo for travel, leisure, and business:
 As smoke poured out from the front seat, we pulled over
and seconds after we jumped out, the car went up in flames:
 The starter motor wiring tripped and it drove itself backward
uphill into the ditch like an electric car & moving ball of fire:
We had just topped off the fuel tank that afternoon,
it magnified the fire with huge streaks of flames:

  The firemen arrive to a totaled loss of the car:
 The trail where the car drove itself backward uphill while burning:
 Jamaica and I were stunned; a huge part of our life went up in flames:
 The Volvo turned into a solid hunk of metal and
fused plastics; the toxic odor was unbearable:
 What if we had children (s)trapped into this family car?
Could've we got them out in time?
Before I started taking pictures, I didn't
realize my phone was on "video mode:"
