FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WFFT)- No one is injured after a car catches fire at the shell gas station on Jefferson Boulevard this morning.

The driver who didn't want to be identified or speak on camera says he noticed he was having brake issues around 10:50 a.m. so he pulled over at the gas station to check it out.

The driver believes brake fluid started leaking onto the manifold and that's when the blaze started.

Lucky, he got out of the car before the front burst into flames. The exact cause of the car fire is still under investigation. No damage was caused to gas station property.
