Default Dealer fire
Yikes - that's my dealer. Fire apparently started in a customer's Jag and spread to more than a dozen other cars.

My car needs to go in for service (Check Engine light, again), but maybe I'll wait for things to cool off.

Sure hope it wasn't an F Type that started it.

No, someone parked a Ferrari nearby and was test driving an F-Type when the Ferrari spontaneously combusted as they are wont to do

Caused by a 2004 XJ8, in for repair from a previous fire.

The car wasn't actively being worked on, was in for work.
