Considerable time and effort was expended on washing the road, whilst the fire was merrily spreading to a bunch of cars, piles of scrap and junk, as well the vegetation on three sides of the fire building. Good thing they kept the road from burning down, though.

It was a total loss anyways, no reason to put it out if everything is already on fire. Vegetation fires were kept to a minimum because of exposure protection lines. Not to mention that this is also in a rural part of the county, and it's pretty hard to get volunteers sometimes.

They were trying to keep the road cool so that it would not buckle and crack
