Take a look at this... a heat wave across China caused a van to self-ignite in Beijing on Monday.

The owner of the van believes the electrical circuits in the van self-ignited, causing the van to catch fire.

Three fire engines and over 20 firefighters from the Beijing Fire Brigade were sent to deal with the fire.

There have been several instances in Beijing of cars self-igniting since the beginning of summer.

Fire authorities are reminding drivers to regularly check their cars and keep a fire extinguisher handy as a precaution.
