Here is Google Street View of the area. It appears to be mostly homes and antique stores. No government buildings, nightclubs, or any typical terrorist target you would expect if it was that.

It could be "nothing" and I hope it is.

Very limited coverage so far of this. The Daily Mail has a little on it; so it is a developing story.

It appears it was a car fire per this video. Considering it looks intact albeit on fire, probably not an explosion. It may be nothing more than a mechanical fire but everyone is on edge for terrorism.

OK, now reports of three separate car fires. One is an accident, two is coincidence, three is intentional.

The city is about 25% Muslim, so the other 75% are probably scared to death
