Vehicle fires are some of the most nerve-wracking fires you'll ever respond to... Always approach from a corner, sweep the hose stream under the vehicle to push out any burning fluids, then flood the interior with as much water as you have. There are so many things in a car that will try to hurt you... Those little hydraulic cylinders that prop up your rear hatch? When those heat up enough to cook off, they'll drive that rod through your leg... The compressed gas cylinders that give the bumpers their 'bumpiness' will kick the bumper out hard enough to break a knee... Hopefully the fire hasn't gotten hot enough to ignite the magnesium that is in a lot of modern vehicles... And here's hoping electric car manufacturers really know their stuff... A lithium fire doesn't sound like fun at all.
