http://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2017/jul/18/wildfires-across-southern-europe-in-pictures

Quote: "Croatian firefighters battled for a full day to control a forest fire along the Adriatic coast that has damaged and destroyed buildings in villages around the city of Split, reaching the Split suburbs late on Monday. Local media reported that the blaze, which started shortly after midnight, has spread across 20 km and first threatened the villages of Srinjine, Sitno Gornje and Sitno Donje. One death has been reported, although it was not clear whether the cause was a heart attack or smoke inhalation. By the evening hours the blaze had reached eastern suburbs of Split. Some parts of the city were without water or electricity."

Quote: "Croatian TV reported that the blaze near the key port and tourist center of Split has reached houses in some parts of the city, with residents joining firefighters in efforts to contain the flames."

Quote: "Scenes in Srinjinje, Gornje Sitno, and Donje Sitno and Žrnovnica have been described as 'apocalyptic', with a number of houses burnt down already in Žrnovnica. There has also already been one fatality from the blazes."

http://www.sott.net/article/356657-Wildfires-rage-along-the-Adriatic-coast-in-Croatia-and-Montenegro

Quote: "Montenegro has asked for international help to fight wildfires raging along its Adriatic coastline, forcing the evacuation of dozens of tourists and campers, authorities said July 17. 'The situation at Lustica is critical. The interior ministry of Montenegro asked for the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism' to be activated to help extinguish the fire, the government said in a statement. Mayors of the threatened coastal towns of Kotor, Tivat, and Herceg Novi urged the government to ask neighboring nations -- Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia-- to send fire-extinguishing aircraft."

Note: I doubt Croatia's gonna be able to send help, seeing as their coastline is also on fire...

2017-07-17 - In separate incidents, two cars burst into flame at 2 AM while parked half a mile from each other in Columbia (Missouri):
http://www.komu.com/news/authorities-investigating-two-car-fires-in-northeast-columbia

Quote: "One Columbia fire marshal said they believe that there's something suspicious about the two fires considering the close proximity as well as the same time."

Note: Same time means either A) it was a cloud of gas that ignited at least one and probably both cars; or B) it was two sets of arsonists coordinating to burn two random cars in the same general vicinity at the same time. Probably Option A, but since 'the authorities' are too dim and oblivious to even know about Option A then they're not likely to figure anything out. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening and/or dying more common during those hours...

http://www.chronicle-independent.com/section/43/article/48051/

Quote: "The Kershaw County Coroner's office says a five-year-old boy died after the car he'd been left in caught fire."

Quote: "West says the incident happened outside a home in the county around 10:53 a.m. Wednesday, when the mother went to another person's house. While she was inside, she left her three children in her car with the vehicle running and the air conditioning on. Somehow, though, the car caught fire, and two of the children were able to get out and run inside to get help from their mother. The mom opened the back hatch of the car, and began removing Easton from his car seat. She was able to get the child out, but at that point, West said the child had burns on 75 percent of his body. He was taken to the Augusta Burn Center for treatment, but eventually succumbed to his injuries. West says the mom received burns to her arms from trying to get her child out of the vehicle."

Quote: "A man estimated to be in his 60s was found dead inside of his Westwego home Monday night (July 31) after firefighters responded to a call of a 'man in a wheelchair on fire,' according to Westwego fire officials."

Quote: "Investigators said he was trapped on a medical scooter, similar to a motorized wheelchair, in the hall of his home on Avenue A. Now the State Fire Marshall’s office is looking at the scooter a potential source of the fire."

Quote: "So far, the investigation is backing up what neighbors believe they saw when they tried to rescue their friend. 'When I got there, he was sitting in his chair and he was burning from the bottom up in flames,' Mark Hahn said. 'He was moaning and I couldn’t get him out.' Thompson said no other ignition sources near the scooter have been found so far, but said the investigation is still in the preliminary stage."

Note: Medical scooter is just another kind of vehicle...
