    I can't tell if it's Alpha or Bravo foam but they were using it on the structure, and it flowed down the driveway, helping to suppress the gasoline fire. But because the fuel tank was leaking they really needed to set up a dam around it to contain the fuel...

    The one cat is in critical condition. We have a go fund me page. We are trying to save Odin the cat. We would appreciate any help. The cat has responded well to the meds. But day one 6000+ dollars for ICU and he is still in. My sister just put down a sick cat not more than 3 months ago then this fire and one furbaby is gone and Odin is fighting for his life. It won't let me post the GoFundMe but if you search Buttonwood Ln fire it will come up

    well clearly the exposure from the jeep started extending to the dwelling and the jeep is a great source of fuel for a wood frame dwelling. this is where having multiple companies with lines comes in clutch.

If something happen to her i would not be far behind her!

    regular gas jeep. its a JK. . the fuel line from ther tank prob melted and the expansion of the gas in the tank due to heating up causes it to dribble out of that line and stay on fire underthe jeep.. its reallty hard to put that out.. you have to cool everything around it down includingthe fuel itself that is probably boiling off to get the fire completely out.. the FD had the right idea with a foam attack but of course they are putting most efforts into saving the house and exposures.. the jeep is stabilized..

    @@andyoxleyonhistravels Andy, on modern cars, the fuel pump is in the fuel tank, is electric, and is always energized to keep the fuel line pressurized so that the fuel injectors have pressure instantly to start the car. Yes, the fuel line failed and fuel is coming out, I agree there, and perhaps the fuel tank as well, which would have nothing to do with the pump, but the pump is energized. That's why you need to kill the power if it's still live, as it is in this case...

    The fuel pump is not working. Fuel is coming from the bottom of the tank. If it were working, fuel would be under pressure feeding the fire.
