A vehicle went up in flames after being parked on a pile of leaves this morning, officials say.
A Hatzolah Paramedic, Nuchi Shapiro, passed by as the vehicle began smoking, and used a fire extinguisher to try and contain the fire.
Chief Meyer last week warned residents about these dangers.
Go Nuchi go!!!
Go fireman Nuchi Go
The catalytic converter makes contact with grass or leaves and converts your car to ash.

People just don’t get it. They will keep on parking on leaves until the chickens come home to roost.
Not saying people should be parking on leaves but with all the leaves on the streets, there is no place left to park…
Great job Nuchi!
