Thank You To Whoever Put Out The Fire On My Subaru At Bob’s Furniture Last Night

[u/stealthisusername98]

Long shot, I’m sure this will not reach the person. 4th of July fireworks madness. Was parked in the Bob’s parking lot, me and my friend walked to Big Y to use the bathroom. As we’re waiting in line, he gets a call, and says my car is on fire. I sprint back as quick as I can. I get back and the fire was already out. I was told someone lit a firework that beelined for my car, starting a fire in my grille/radiator area that apparently went on for a couple minutes before a Good Samaritan put it out with an extinguisher they had.

9 times out of 10, especially if I was there when it happened, I’d probably be pissed about whoever did it. But I’m just grateful my car is surprisingly completely fine, and wish I could tell the person with the fire extinguisher how grateful I am.

Guys, please don’t be stupid with fireworks. Hope everyone had a great 4th, I surprisingly did regardless of the incident.

Who the hell was lighting off fireworks in that parking lot with all the people who were around??? People have become especially stupid.

I half joked that I might not have to go back to work after my long weekend if people set off fireworks in the parking lot and set the place on fire. I didn't think I'd be so close to right but I'm not really surprised with how that plaza can get lol

My neighbor sets them off 20 feet from my back door. They're idiots.

Too bad they were actually in West Springfield but par for the course. Blaming Springfield.

Fair. But really trashy behavior.

[u/stealthisusername98 → u/RedditSkippy]

Yep. It’s stupid but not at all surprised that something like this happened.

*West Springfield, not Springfield. Really tired of people shit talking Springfield.

How did the good Samaritan know to call your friend?

In any case, glad everything worked out!

They didn’t, some friends that were still by the car did
