Scary incident! I was there just last week. Maybe the temple administration should conduct regular vehicle safety checks in parking areas? Just a suggestion.

While I'm glad no one was hurt, I wonder if the parking area had proper fire extinguishers available? This could serve as a wake-up call for better safety measures.
