Saw a car on fire yesterday. Big brown flames. I happened to be looking out the front window when I saw a cop car blocking the south bound lanes on Mission Street. It had it's lights on and I noticed people on the far side of the street moving quickly away from the area and others pointing. I immediately assumed it was a shooting until I saw white white smoke in the street. I couldn't see where it was coming from so I put my shoes on and went downstairs. That's when I saw the car on fire. A Mexican was directing traffic off of Mission Street onto Highland. A fire truck came and put it out. An officer came up to relieve the Mexican from his duties. The Mexican hugged the officer.
