This is why firefighters urge people not to leave water bottles inside their vehicle.
In July 2017, Dioni Amuchastegui, a battery technician with Idaho Power, noticed smoke emerging from beneath the center console of his truck during his lunch break.

Amuchastegui was quick to get rid of the bottle and prevent fire from starting.
