  • The people filming this should try putting it out, it looks pretty managable in the beginning

  • @arohn2007 manageable yes if we had a CAFS system in the car we were driving.... but we were on our way to watch a baseball game & we didn't have our firefighting gear on board. so capturing a car fire on video was all we could do. 

  • What city?

  • Vancouver BC

  • @kahlua619 Depends on where you are. Quints in a big city are kinda useless. In a small community, or rural area they make more sense when you may have to have an apparatus do double duty.

  • Booster

  • Quints are stupid. Engines for engine work, Trucks for truck work.

  • @lowrider5140 If the engine is off the alternator isnt generating electricity. Which means you dont have the amps flowing from the alternator to the battery. If the car is englfed as it was when FD arrived the battery would be melted to peices, meaning no more power in that battery. Thus no way to conduct electricity through the hose line. Ive never heard of a FD carring enough dry chem to put out a car fire with that, only leaves water, of CAFS which isnt to popular.

  • a car can't explode -.-

  • LMAO I can push it closer.

  • Too bad you didn't stay on the other side. Could have got a nice shot of the drivers side tire blow. At 2:30 I guess we know who's car it is.

  • This reminds me, I need to check the extinguisher in my car.
