Narrative:
Engine Company 13 responded to a motor vehicle fire at the intersection of Cottage Grove Road and Inwood Way. Upon arrival, they found a four-door sedan fully involved along the roadside.
Firefighters pulled their 100-foot bumper line and flowed approximately 200 gallons of water and foam to extinguish the fire.
The owner of the car said she noticed an electrical smell a week ago and took the vehicle to a mechanic. Just prior to this fire, she noticed smoke coming through the engine wall into the passenger compartment. After pulling over the vehicle, she opened the passenger-side door and found flames.
Firefighters arranged for the vehicle to be towed, and the scene was left in the care of MPD.
