Warning: Leaving Bottled Water In Your Car Could Start A Fire

As hot and humid temperatures hit Western Pennsylvania, first responders have a warning about bottled water.
Firefighters want to warn people that leaving a plastic bottle of water in a hot car and direct sunlight can start a fire in just a couple of minutes.
While the warning is not new, fire departments across the country continue to warn the public of the potential risks.
In 2017, CBS News did a report on plastic water bottles left in a hot vehicle in Idaho. The bottle caused the vehicle’s seat to begin burning.

I remember seeing a report years ago about how a bottle of frozen water setting on a porch in the sun could cause a fire.
