Driving tip: Never leave a lit candle in one of your car's cup holders

Live Boston reports that a tow-driver hauling a car down Southampton Street early Saturday morning noticed smoke coming out of the car, and flagged down some of the officers on Mass-and-Cass patrol.

Officers jumped into action and attempted to put out the fire which had spread from a candle in a cup holder but were unsuccessful. Eventually firefighters arrived and using a water car extinguished the small flames.
