Was at the field for flag football playoff practice and the English high game had just ended when the mini van erupted in smoke and then flames, a smart individual grabbed the fire extinguisher from the school bus, I thought it was going to explode but somehow they tamed it before the trucks arrived . Seemed like it took forever for the fire trucks to make it, traffic was backed up. That incident died down and then a bit later the building one street over caught fire and there was a major response.
Grateful for quick reacting indivuduals and our emergency responders. Hoping no one was hurt.
You should certainly be wary around a burning vehicle, but gasoline doesn't explode except under very specific conditions - like those found inside a operating piston chamber.

It should be CAR fire
Don't worry...I don't know my own name at the end of the day.
Ayup
Thanks, fixed.
What a night

Just FYI - except in Hollywood, burning autos rarely explode

That's good to know. It was parked close to other cars, were they in danger of catching fire? Just curious....
