## Narrative
The Kona was driven a 1/2 hour before parking the vehicle.  The Kona was turned off.  Within 5 minutes smoke began wafting from under the hood.  When I opened the hood to inspect I found the engine & underside of the hood was engulfed in flames.  I closed the hood immediately.  The Kona fully ignited with minor explosions & burnt completely to the metal frame within 25 minutes.
