An Alberta woman could only stand back and watch as her Acura SUV was engulfed in flames Wednesday afternoon.

The Kelowna Fire Department said the car was smoking when the woman pulled into the Orchard Plaza parking lot.

Thick, black smoke quickly rose skyward as the fire consumed the vehicle and heavily damaged a sedan on its right.
