LEXUS SUV FIRE FULLY INVOLVED-WATCH ENTIRE VIDEO

Gary Engine 12 Responded to a reported truck fire in a baseball field at 14th and Idaho. On arrival a Mercedes suv was found fully engulfed. At 3 degree temps,crews already had a battle on their hands, after a quick knock down the tedious work began. The gas line on the undercarriage had ruptured. After two different extinguishers, five gallons of foam, and a full tank the fire seemed out. Within fifteen minutes of going in service, the car was on fire again. Crews responded back and worked an addition 45 minutes or so. Have to give the Crew from Engine 12 props for busting their asses on the most stubborn car fire I have ever seen!

Is that a gx 470??? I have two of those, how did the fire start?

[mabas21]

Not sure of the model, but pretty sure it was arson. The car was in the middle of a baseball field, on fire, in the early morning hours.

Thats sad. A perfectly good Lexus. Do you know exactly how the fire started?

[mabas21]

Considering where it was and the time, I would say arson

@macbookpro57 - probably could not afford the payment.  ;)

[Gromitdog1]

Insurance job?  One way to reduce those payments.....

They should have just let it burn. It was a total loss anyway and it would go out eventually.
