Beware of the Leaves!
As fall arrives, the vibrant tapestry of red, gold, and orange leaves captivates us all. The brilliant colors against the clear blue sky create a stunning visual display. Yet, hidden amidst this seasonal beauty is a potential danger you need to be aware of. Discover the risks autumn poses and how to safeguard yourself and your property.
Anne Bridgeton was used to driving her '99 Camry on serene weekday trips from her home in the Kentucky foothills to her job, 30 miles away. Preferring the scenic back roads to the bustling interstate, her journey took 15 extra minutes. However, it was worthwhile to avoid the commercial traffic and enjoy the picturesque farms and woodlands. This October, things took a dramatic turn for Anne.
A dry summer led to an early fall, with leaves carpeting the roadsides well before October ended. In some residential areas, piles of leaves awaited removal by sanitation crews. As Anne drove past these piles, she was reminded of winter's looming snowdrifts.
Unexpectedly, the phone rang. Assuming it was someone from work asking her to pick up cider and donuts?"a usual treat for the office?"she was surprised to hear her mother's voice reminding her of her younger sister's birthday. Anne pulled over, turned on her emergency flashers, turned off the engine, and chatted with her mother.
Within three minutes, she noticed smoke rising near the front passenger window. Alarmed, Anne cut the call, exited her Camry, and discovered flames sprouting from the ground. As she dialed 911, the fire rapidly engulfed her car. Luckily, Anne escaped unharmed, though shocked, while her Camry was destroyed.
Such incidents occur frequently when drivers park over leaves. In Anne's case, sparks from her Camry’s catalytic converter?"capable of heating to over 1500 degrees?"ignited the leaves beneath her vehicle, leading to a swift blaze. While Anne was fortunate to escape unscathed, her car was a total loss.
To prevent such disasters, remain vigilant. The beauty of the season should not lull you into ignoring potential hazards. Always park your vehicle on clear surfaces, free of debris. Hundreds of fires are sparked each year by catalytic converters. Stay alert and protect yourself from this danger.
