The Volkswagen engine compartment gets a good dousing after it erupted into flames in the parking lot of a shopping mall in Sattahip.

Pattaya, Thailand – The Sattahip Municipality firefighting team sprang into action as flames engulfed a green Volkswagen sedan’s engine compartment in the parking lot of a local shopping center on August 9.

The fire originated within the engine compartment of the vehicle, causing significant harm to both the engine area and a section of the car’s interior. It took the firefighters about 10 minutes to contain and extinguish the blaze, minimizing the damage and averting a potentially more dire outcome.
