The driver of the vehicle stated, in the video, that she had left the vehicle idling after brushing it off as she went into Canadian Tire and then Winners.

When she returned, the vehicle had been completely engulfed in flames.

A passerby called Thunder Bay Fire Rescue and crews arrived a short time after. The passerby also said that she tried to get people to move their cars away from the blaze but it was too dangerous for the other vehicle owners to approach.

Thunder Bay Fire Rescue crews were quick to put out the fire.
