Is the color of the fire inside the vehicle because of the video quality or is it white hot like that? And I wonder how long that thing was burning before the department was called and got there, looked like a while
@CRonaldo2507 The magnesium is hot enough to burn right threw the PPE. If there is heavy reaction its best from what I ve seen to just put out the fire around the area that has the reaction and let it burn out if need be. SCBA should be SOP on a vehicle fire and this is the fault of the officers for not enforcing this and writing up those that do not follow the rule.
i am shocked the guy did not have a air tank on.most firemen use them now a days on car fires due to all the toxic flumes that comes from there and the closeness to the smoke
@nuclearthreat545 So everyone who catches a fire on video is an arsonist? Yes I realize he has more than one but its what he does. We have a guy in my county who films emergencies and he sometimes does beat the department.
SCBA and Fire Extinguisher-- critical for magnesium car fires. Water reacts with magnesium which will keep you there forever.

No SCBA. This is a example of what NOT to do.

Mabas if they thought you were a arsonist you have a GPS tracking system hidden on your car by the Police.. Don't worry.

There is magnesium in airbags frames steering collums some times in seat frames also but I think somebody put more magnesium in side

Why was there so much magnesium?

As much as I hate to tank up, I wear them on car fires. He's lucky he didn't take any magnesium to the face either
