The story checks out. Apparently, the owner left during the evacuation order in another one of her personal vehicles, and the VW was still there when authorities checked everything in the area. Now the owner still isn’t allowed back in the area, along with other residents, but a snapshot of the vehicle shows the side that was facing towards the fire, so it didn’t come through completely unscathed.

According to one article it’s a 1977 Volkswagen Type 2.
It’s literally as old as me!(47 years old).
