I would have thought the spoiler would have at least warped some if not melted

Sucks to see this sort of thing. What a nightmare for a car guy.

The woman's comment "Is this your first fire" is drawing TONS of negative comments. Not exactly the right thing to say when the fire department arrives. Let them do their job so they can return home, unharmed, to their families.

Well, in defense of that woman, she was freaking out because their car and trailer were burning. I think everyone and anyone who saw their pride and joy going up in flames would be short tempered. We have a different perspective because we're watching a video. Imagine if that were one your Yenko cars in that trailer, and you see the fire department arrive, and appear somewhat casual about putting out the fire.

On the other hand, people do have to realize that a fire department is not the NHRA or NASCAR Safety Crew. They don't arrive within 10 seconds, jump off their trucks, and douse the fire with extinguishers.

The car and trailer were a total loss from the point someone began videotaping. I'd be curious to know what started the blaze.

I'll add this. The fire dept. moves in a methodical manner to preserve the saftey of the firefighters first. Obvoiusly, they did and do not get excited by the tension of the situation. If anyone ever knew the toxins given off by a car fire added to the possibilty of a flash, they would walk rather than run too.

The fire attack looks to be very text book in nature. I will admit, I'd be having a hemmorage too if that were one of my cars.

My symapathy goes to the owners. If you want to look on the bright side......................they did not lose the truck!

Man, what a shame. I'm sure the firemen got water on it as soon as they could, but like was said earlier, that might have seemed like a lifetime for the owner. All we know is that it was a 69 RS/SS.

Sure would be interesting to know how the fire started.

It was hard to watch. About it being an RS/SS, kinda looks li ke an 8'2 ten bolt.
