QUINCY, MASS. (WHDH) - A Quincy police cruiser was reduced to rubble Monday morning after it suddenly burst into flames.

The police department tweeted at 11 a.m. a video that showed a cruiser burning in the station’s parking lot.

Police Captain John Dougan says an officer had just parked the cruiser when he noticed the car was smoking.

The officer was able to escape unharmed, but was not able to retrieve any belongings or reports from inside the car.
