LENO “PINK SLIP” FIRE FINALLY UNDER CONTROL
MILLIONS OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATES GO UP IN FLAMES
A raging four-alarm fire yesterday destroyed ownership certificates for nearly two million vehicles belonging to comedian Jay Leno, fire officials told Parksplug.
“The vehicles are fine,” said Fire Captain LaDidah Gumwoody, who said Leno’s huge collection of of cars, hot rods and motorcycles is stored in another facility.
Jay Leno’s own fleet of fire trucks and engines were the first to respond to the massive fire |
The 350,000 square foot complex that burned housed the titles or “pink slips” for the comedian’s vehicles, which number in the hundreds of millions.
Firefighters were able to save just two titles, said Gumwoody, one for Leno’s electric maglev-powered go-kart and the other for a steam-engined1962 Ford Falcon Futura.
Reached for comment, Oreo Yttr, a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles, replied, “Can I put you on hold?” and then never came back.
