    Isn't it funny how many police officers it takes to put out one little fire. And yet when a car ran in the side of my car and sped of the police wasn't interested.

    Vehicle fires do happen but if that had been an EV they wouldn't have been able to put it out so quickly and they would have needed specialist equipment.

      What specialist equipment? Also, that's only if the high voltage battery was on fire if it started elsewhere it's possible to be there and put it out before it spread to the battery

      @@tgm9991 I am not a firefighter, however from what I have seen reported by firefighters and evidence as to how a Lithium battery fire is tackled one way is to place a fire blanket over it, hose it with copious amounts of water, place the whole thing in a tank full of water to prevent the possible re-ignition. These fires or whatever size do give off toxic gases and are likely to explode and the water run off is toxic and should be kept out of water courses for the obvious reason that water probably runs into the general waste water system.

    It doesn't matter whether they're IC or electric (this looks like it's IC), modern cars do seem to have a worrying tendency to go up in flames 🔥

    This will end up becoming a 250k claim by the time the road has been repaired emergency services paid for and solicitors have had their filthy hands on the paperwork.
    Still another good excuse to put insurance premiums up 🙄. What a joke , nothing like milking it and making mountains out of molehills.

    We are an absolute joke in this country. Running around filming it and walking with an extinguisher nobody knows how to use. This could have been put out with one powder extinguisher before it got that bad and yet we just flap about and people have to get their phones out rather than do anything. Pathetic specimens we have become

    What's with the firemen running , it's a right off, can't be saved and nobody is in any danger.
    And what's with the small van fire engine?
