Check out the car fire I saw on Saturday ... scary stuff

I was on the way to Supercar Saturday with my son on Saturday ... saw the plume of smoke go up and came across this.

Miraculously, no one was killed.

I grabbed my extinguisher and ran over ... cops arrived at the same time and ordered me back. Not that it would have helped ... vehicle was engulfed in flames. But I thought there were people still in there and felt compelled to at least try.

This now makes 5 car fires I have witnessed first hand. Re-emphasises my passion to get a fire extinguisher in every car. My 16 year old son now also shares my passion. As a learner driver about to get his license, it also taught him an important lesson about respecting a car.

I wouldn't have shared this if it were a fatality or anyone was seriously injured.

(Please excuse the branding stuff ... not intended as a free plug ... my son uploaded the video and wanted to show me how clever he was with his editing software!)
