Don’t park in the fire lane because that’s the law. No other reasons should be required! And that applies to all rules and laws, believe it or not.

Weird story. How does a car overheat by itself while it is parked? Any explanations?

Legal spot? I suppose it depends upon your understanding of “legal”. It’s parked on the grass, not in a parking spot, in an area acessible only because a previous car knocked down the post & chains protecting the landscaping there. One also has to jump a curb to get there which itself is illegal if it one entered the spot from the street.

Not so legal – the nose of the car is hanging out into the fire lane. Interesting that it was precisely that part of the car that caught fire.

To #7 its perfectly legal to park on the grass and to jump a curb if it’s on private property

Sometimes the heat of the engine can cause the grass to ignite, causing the car to catch fire. I’ve seen this happen in the heat, with dry, tall grass underneath the engine. Maybe that’s what happened here.
