This happened several years ago. I just happen to find the pics on my computer. Since then garage was rebuilt, vehicles were replaced. I don't know what the final verdict was from the fire marshall but now I'm curious to find out. All I know is the boyfriend of my friend's daughter was working on the car in the garage. Fuel filter change or something to do with the fuel tank toward the back of the car. Yes, the rear wheels were up on ramps. He mentioned a static charge ignited some fuel vapors. If static was not the cause, who knows? Could have been a faulty trouble light, bad electrical cord, maybe garage heater?

BTW, the ramps were metal. The metal got so hot the ramps lost their structural integrity.
