Your car's fuse box caught fire and burst into flames when you closed the door, causing the windows to drop and destroying the vehicle's wiring within minutes. The fire spread rapidly and could have ignited nearby buildings if you hadn't been able to extinguish it immediately. This type of electrical fire is a serious safety hazard that could cause injury or total vehicle loss, especially if it occurred while driving on a highway.
