Video: Car parked at RAK house gutted in major fire
Ras Al Khaimah - Investigations are underway to determine the causes of the fire.
Unable to ascertain the cause of the fire at the time of filing this report, official sources with the RAK civil defence said that the SUV had caught fire all of a sudden in the house close to Al Rams medical centre.
"The flames first started under the bonnet of the car, and quickly engulfed the entire car."
The central operations room of the RAK Police immediately dispatched firefighters, an ambulance, paramedics and rescue teams to the site - after being alerted of the blaze.
"Firefighters managed to put out the fire without any human casualties, which started in the front side and spread to the entire car."
The well-trained firefighters put out the flames using water and foam, they stated.

"All drivers need to get regular maintenance service done on their cars, particularly in the summer - due to the scorching temperature - to control any possible fuel or oil leaks which are mostly the cause of such fires."
Investigations are underway to identify the causes behind the fire, they said.
Earlier in February, two cars were gutted in a fire in RAK's Nakheel area. Seven more vehicles were also gutted in fires across the northern emirate last year.
