…destroys businessman’s car, other items

A fire of unknown origin has left businessman Johnny Singh counting his losses.
According to reports, shortly after 16:00 hours yesterday, a fire broke out in Singh’s garage, damaging his BMW, several television sets, three toy gasoline-operated motorcycles, and other items. Singh said the fire resulted in millions of dollars in losses.
According to him, at around 16:15 hours, he got a call informing him that there was a fire in his garage, located at Lot 38 Cummings Street, Alberttown. Upon arriving, Singh added, he saw a toy motorcycle, a few television sets, and his BMW car, PFF 808, on fire.
Singh says that he is not sure where the fire originated, but he believes that it was due to high voltage.
According to him, before leaving yesterday morning, he plugged in one of the motorcycles to charge, and he believes that high voltage occurred, triggering a fire.
He added that since the motorcycle is gasoline-operated, this may have caused it to burst into flames.
Singh said that, in addition to the motorcycles, he had at least a dozen television sets in the garage, and what the fire did not damage received water damage.  He also said that the car was worth over $2M, the bikes $100,000 each, and the television sets, $500,000.
