The car fire was near 62 Avenue and 150 A Street in a cul-de-sac.<\/p>\n
The fire was caught on many home CCTV systems.<\/p>\n
Surrey Fire Services (SFS) and Surrey Police Services frontline officers were on scene shortly after the fire started.<\/p>\n
No injuries or arrests have been reported and the cause is unknown.<\/p>\n
1130 NewsRadio reporter, Aastha Pandey-Kanaan was nearby when the explosion happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe heard a bang sound and we all just woke up in the neighbourhood and then I ran down to see what was going on. Turns out a car was on fire, it just was up in flames.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe flames of the car have been put out. There\u2019s just a lot of smoke. The police are still on scene.\u201d<\/p>\n
Assistant Chief of Operations, Mike McNamara, said the vehicle was fully engulfed with flames when crews arrived on scene.<\/p>\n
\u201c[We] applied water and fought the car fire. Standard practice. Knocked the fire down and then police responded to the incident and took over the scene from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fire completely destroyed the car, McNamara stated it is a total loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t have a cause and with a typical vehicle fire, unless the police want us to do an investigation, we won\u2019t. but they may have an idea of what\u2019s happened here,\u201d said McNamara.<\/p>\n
There is no indication that this incident is related to extortions or other criminal activity. The investigation is in the early stages. There should not be any major traffic disruptions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CCTV footage obtained by 1130 NewsRadio appears to show a person pouring liquid over the vehicle before flames can be seen.<\/p>\n
