Great photos! Glad your truck survived untouched. Some parking garages have automatic sprinkler protection. Something to keep in mind when parking just like hotel stays. It is more important now with all the extremely hot EV car battery fires and limited access for fire department in these multi-level garages.

How long were you looking from the distance wondering where the truck was in relation to the flame seen?

Despite all of the smoke, flames and even popping parts, the truck is untouched. Nothing burned, no damage and not even any SMELL! Never been more proud to own the truck! It has been taken to a dealership and checked out, everything is fine :)

A crazy story indeed the Maverick is remarkable!

A car started smoking and the lovely driver decided to park nearby me in the parking ramp and for some reason leave her car immediately. Our parking ramp was shut down and there was no way to get my truck out with how much fire was up there.

Despite all of the smoke, flames and even popping parts, the truck is untouched. Nothing burned, no damage and not even any SMELL! Never been more proud to own the truck! It has been taken to a dealership and checked out, everything is fine :)

did you get more pics of the burned vehicle? I can't even be sure of what it is, other than a 5 door wagon, but that narrows it down quite a bit: Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz are all that make such, these days.

It's a wagon.....no manufacture with a sound mind would produce a wagon EV for the North American market. That is how I knew it wasn't an EV.
