    Sorry for the owners loss.

    Pretty amazing at the 9:50 mark in the video. One of the firemen
    bends and tears off the front bonnet (with his hands) and then tosses it in the shrubs.

    Can't believe that the passenger reached back into the car long after the fire had started.

    So Halon is the best to have on hand? I recall those starve out the oxygen for the fire...

    I can never figure out why someone would try to save a burning car. I had a 308 catch fire in Grapevine in 1997 while driving it. Surely it was insured.

    +1. Just make sure you have an agreed value policy. ;)

    Probably trained to do that...why waste time hunting for the release latch? Obviously nothing to save there. Field expedient :)

    Bummer for the owner, but those cars are crap. I had a 2012 that was a nightmare and Bellevue Lamborghini had one of thier cars in 2013 catch fire at a car show as well.
