Henley Grove Car Fire 01/09/2024 - See Description for Details
Car Fire in Henley Grove just off Henleaze Road in Bristol. From what I’ve heard, this was a failed attempt to steal petrol. The car was stolen, the two thieves had filled the car with petrol cans and then proceeded to a petrol station where they filled up all the cans, but didn’t have time to put all the lids on before making their getaway. And so the petrol was sloshing about inside the car and the heat from the exhaust underneath the car ignited the fuel. The driver got out and ran off and the passenger got out with minor burns and was taken to hospital.

Sounds like 2 nosy nabours doing comentry !!!
Prime example of electric cars and what happens when they catch fire. Very hard to extinguish. Well done to the crews involved.
It's not like they have spawn points. People have to understand. Due to government cuts. They have to prioritise calls. A house fire is more of a priority than three cars to be fair. You have to factor in where they're coming from and the condition of the traffic and roads as well. Travelling at high speed is bad enough but if it's been raining it's a lot worse. Instead of moaning about how long they're taking. Just be thankful they turned up before the houses caught a light. Can do a better job. Sign up yourself to become a fire fighter.
So down to the actions of 2 idiots, the car they stole has been destroyed and 3 other innocent people/families have had their cars destroyed aswell
Stop blaming the fire service blame the prats in government that keep removing funding for public services. Has to be an EV? Reason being lithium batteries create their own oxygen when they burn and thats what it looks like here as it wouldn't go out.
Car that caused the fire is definitely dodgy.
Damn that was one stubborn fire, the fuel tank must have been totally full....
I'd hazard a guess that the originating car was electric, based on how long it took to extinguish. Hence the foam suppressant.
You cannot put out a battery until it has expended all of its energy.
The way that fire keeps going it looks like it's probably an electric vehicle
Lithium batteries don't like water
It's not an electric fire it's fuel fire
What an irritating woman
Foam is needed
Your local news,... it's gone national now mate , frightening innit ..🎥🫢💥
Don't forget, at the last inspection Avon FRS was one of the worst in the country and rated 'Inadequate'. Most disturbing being the toxic culture in the service. A very poor service and it shows in the video.
Did anyone make a complaint about this Fire Service. I know that people don't like complaining about fire services but poor fire services like this one will never improve if people don't complain.
I've got to resurface that road again, god some people can be so selfish.
Gosh, these people moan about EVERYTHING. I wonder why they are still living there if everything is so incredibly awful!
Did you vote for a Tory government, then you voted foe public sector cuts.
Yes it was a freak of nature if by that you meant the unnatural freak ability of man made Lithium EV batteries to incinerate everything around an EV uncontrollably at greater spead with greater temperatures reached more rapidly to create a greater burn radius than any equivalent size petrol or diesel vehicle would 😂
This wasn’t an EV. Read the description before making yourself look like an idiot on the internet.
Here's the proof. Don't buy an EV
Read the caption, car was full of petrol cans
The need for firefighters will grow each year exponentially as we use more and more electric vehicles .
I dunno mate but your mrs was doing my fucking head in
Let me guess?! It was an EV car?!?!?
Total respect for the men and women that keep all of us safe and put their own lives at risk to do so xx
I don't see how anyone can have any respect for these crews.
Homegusta 😮😮😮no acercarse. Por esplosiones
Sweets, nearly as bad as babes 🤣
The future is electric vehicles, right
There were no electric vehicles in this clip.
Wow whatever happened a four for one deal for the firies, good to see they were all over it once they arrived. They do a cracking job under the circumstance of being woefully funded, due to cuts.
That's not petrol it's lithium batteries
Your comment is actually painful. Read the description.
The woke wombles
No freak of nature, freak of EV’s
NOT an EV..
Fire crews did really well got water on within a few seconds of arrival and when they noticed the car full of fuel wasn’t being extinguished they got foam onto it. Even managed to contain the running fuel fire in the gullies heading towards the van.
EV, they need banning.
The panic in her voice because the fire brigade weren't there instantly to save a hedge. Peak middle-class English.
Christ knows fuel was in the central car because it just wouldn't go out but it shows how quickly a fire can spread... great job by the fire crews 👍 ..
If they are firemen I’m a Dutchman
Looks like an EV fire. Yet another reason I'll never own one
It's not a electric fire
@AndrewDaley-lr9qg how do you know that then? And it's an electric fire
@Drew.Pugh.Barney.Mcgrew try reading the description.the car had been stealing fuel.and was full of containers the fumes caused an explosion setting the vehicle on fire .Mr expert
Stop oil not glued to the floor .😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Uber eats, slightly overdone
If you watch fire fighters in the US, they spend 10 minutes watching it on scene before they get water on it! Our guys arrive and don't hang around. They do a great job 👏 👍
Yes its called a dynamic risk assessment, where is fuel, electricity, gas etc there is a reason for that in the u.s but at least they have proper water hoses instead of garden hose, my hosepipe bigger than what they were using
I disagree with that comment about American firefighters. I’m A retired firefighter 48 years service, civilian and military. The departments I was one were quick to get hose lines into service and start doing the job. There are rare times when we would slow down to evaluate what we needed to do and if additional resources were needed. But never did it take 10 minutes as alluded to
@@andrewmidgley296🤣 you don't know what you are talking about do you lol. Dynamic risk assessment is just that, dynamic, not standing about watching. British firefighters use a very robust method for decision making and incident command. One which has been adopted by fire services around the world, including the USA. Your comment about the hoses just goes to show how ignorant you are 🤣 just because it doesn't seem like a lot of water is coming out that doesn't mean it isn't. They use highly sophisticated branches which means the water under high pressure comes out in smaller droplet particles, thus having a greater cooling effect. Might want to check what you are talking about before gobbing off 🤣
@@andrewmidgley296All about size in America, those are just the quick deployment hoses while the lager ones will need a water hydrant connection. As you can see the the “garden” hoses are very effective with car fires.
gobbing off 🤣 woke
That woman 😅 god help you mate!!
Wow how many fire fighters are in this chat 😅 i must be the only civilian in here who knows fuck all about fighting fires
You need foam on electric fires
Don't park next to an EV
You won't be able to insure electric cars
Green technology
It's not an electric fire the car that explodes was illegally carrying fuel in containers
Chicago fire is a great show I like it but this is real.
Apparently water on an EV fire only makes it worse. Needs special decellerant.
Guess most comments here don’t read the description 🙄
Police will be at your door asking for your video
