No one ever wants to see their vehicle engulfed in fiery flames, but this can happen, and it happens more often than a lot of drivers actually know. According to a report provided by the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), about one out of every eight fires that result in a fire department call is actually a vehicle fire that takes place on the highway. Sometimes, these fires occur as the result of a collision, but there are cases when cars catch on fire due to other issues.
