Check out the orange flames and huge cloud of smoke billowing into the air from the engine compartment of this yellow C6 Corvette Z06 coupe on the side of a Pennsylvania street.
Volunteer firefighters responded to the blaze Sunday night in Hellertown, Pennsylvania on West High Street near Whitaker Street.
A news website named Saucon Source published these photos made by an eyewitness, showing a team of firefighters battling the blaze. Let’s hope the damage wasn’t as bad as the flames and smoke would seem to indicate.
Fortunately, initial reports say no one was injured by the fire, and the cause remains under investigation.
This incident shows that it’s not just classic Corvette owners that should be carrying a fire extinguisher. Anyone who loves the car they drive should consider having one in close reach.

That poor Z06! Fire extinguishers do work, but if the fire builds quickly no fire extinguisher will help you.
I would rather know how it happened or what was the cause.
