Resident Clive Thompson described the alarming scene: 'We heard a loud thump, looked outside and saw the cars engulfed, the flames spreading through the leaves underneath the cars.' The buildup of dry leaves created a perfect environment for a fire to ignite and spread rapidly.
Thompson emphasized the fire hazard posed by the leaves, stating that they had not been swept away for weeks. The accumulation of dry leaves in the neighborhood ultimately led to a disaster that could have potentially been avoided.
