Just imagine if someone was in there, no one even looked.

More car washing than anything. That should've been out a lot quicker than that.

I fought several car fires and true there is no rush but from the public perspective you have to at least look like you're trying to save the car. I also would have personally used a power cone stream instead of a straight stream as it covers more ground, and I most definitely would not have wasted a fire extinguisher on this fire.

If you pay close attention when the crew get out of the truck the crew has to put their air packs on before they can begin to fight the fire. A lot of fire companies are doing that for safety for the crew as they are responding to the scene. They believe that it is safer for the crew to be belted rather than fiddling around getting their packs on.

It's tough to armchair quarterback these things since we weren't there, and I've sadly even seen similar lack of "movement with a purpose" on some of my own department's responses in the past, so I won't single these guys out for anything. It does boil down to the need for more training though - donning BAs quickly and efficiently (should be able to get from just turnouts to on air in full PPE in less than 60 seconds, less if you start donning prior to arrival), pull that preconnect right away, and much more aggressive hit on the fire. They spent a lot of time watering the pavement - not something we typically want with class B fuels since the more liquid on the ground, the more the fuel (and fire) can run. And I agree that a slightly wider nozzle pattern would probably have been more effective - hit the primary hot spots (interior rear, engine compartment, etc.) before going after what's on the pavement, unless the fire on the pavement is a more immediate threat to exposures. If you hit the less intense points first, the heat from the primary seats of the fire can re-ignite what you just put out. I might also have waited until a charged line was prepped and manned before ventilating, to avoid feeding more air to the fire too early. Just like a structure - coordinate ventilation and suppression. Brandon's comment about approaching from an angle is good too - compressed gas/hydraulic cylinders in bumpers, hoods/trunks, etc. are no fun when they go. And finally, I don't know that engine's capabilities, but some Class B or A/B foam would have worked wonders. I'm always amazed how many departments don't seem to use foam - we apply foam early on most fires, and it's fantastically effective and preventing re-ignition and minimizing water usage. I'm not being negatively critical - you do a "lessons learned" debriefing after most any call, and these are just some lessons I hope they learned and are able to apply going forward. End of the day, they got the job done.

Is that E85 ethanol? Water doesn't work with alcohol?

Lol at everyone complaining about them taking too long. Firefighters know that you always walk, don't run on the fireground. Nobody is inside, and the car is already a total loss before they even arrived. All they are there for is to put it out so the wrecker can haul it to the scrapyard. People are actually complaining that they aren't running around risking their lives for a $2000 car that's already well beyond totaled

To all of the people complaining "why didn't the cop do something": The vehicle was already heavily smoking and it seemed to be on fire on the inside components as well, from all the smoke coming from the engine area. Breathing in that smoke is highly toxic. Not to mention that the car is likely filled with other combustible items and fuel, so putting it out would likely require you to touch the car or open the hood (generally it's not the best idea to touch burning parts). You can spray the fire on the outside but if the fire is still burning and hot on the inside components it's not going to do a thing. The car was in the middle of the road with nothing around of value, and it was empty. A fire extinguisher should be used first and foremost as a lifesaving tool to suppress the fire enough to escape, and maybe to protect your property if it is safe to put out the fire. The car was clearly already a total loss and was not a danger to anyone in or around it. Call the firefighters and let the professionals extinguish it.

It took an eternity!!

The police don’t have extinguishers? Maybe could have stopped it at the beginning of the video since it appears small and away from fuel.

The vehicle was already destroyed by the time they arrived. There’s no exposure for it to spread to, so there’s no threat and no hurry to extinguish the fire. Fire attack was done correctly by first using the water to push any burning fuels away from them as the approach was made. Water pattern from the nozzle is the firefighters choice. What this firefighter did was correct in attack and overhaul. The whole procedure was done safely and properly, without rushing around. This is how it’s done.. there was no life or exposure threat so no sense in someone getting in a hurry. Good job Clifton!
