In a social media post, CHP San Jose says they responded to reports of a vehicle fire last week.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, and there was no indication of a mechanical issue that started the fire.<\/p>\n

The car appears to have belonged to Gabe Farrell<\/a>, a digital content creator known for car videos.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post<\/a>, Farrell wrote a goodbye message to his estimated half-million-dollar car, stating it was a dream of his to own this car, but they can always be replaced. He wrote that he was grateful no one was hurt.<\/p>\n

KRON4 reached out to Farrell for a comment, but we have not heard back at the time.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

CHP San Jose took the opportunity to remind the public that vehicle fires can spark at anytime, without reason.<\/p>\n

If your car catches fire, they say to pull over and turn off the engine, move away from the car, and call 911. Never return to a fire to grab your belongings.<\/p>\n
