Anyone here? Happened this past weekend. Sucks it spread after the first extinghuisher attempt.

 

I saw the video online, very sad end for that car

The video you posted was pulled for whatever reason. Here's another. Guy tried to save it. I feel for him, that has to be a helpless feeling when a couple extinguishers wouldn't stop it. Love the headlines though $400K Lambo...

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.

 

Took a lot longer to put out than I would have imagined............

 

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.
