Surdit Verma drives a limousine nearly identical to the one that fatally caught fire on Saturday.

Surdit Verma drives limousines. He keeps his fleet of cars in North Oakland and he ferries passengers all over the Bay Area. He said he's had countless bridal parties in the back of his 2000 Lincoln Town Car.Â
While he is at a loss to explain what led to the fatal fire in a 1999 Lincoln Town Car on the San Mateo Bridge Saturday night, he says he is going to buy a fire extinguisher.Â
