San Diego: I-905 Vehicle Fire

[@SnoopySd-d2w]

Well, those tags have been expired since May so who knows when the last oil change took place.

16 year old F250 it had a pretty good life. RIP The green and pink cross maybe saved the life of the driver.

And i thought fires 🔥 only happened to Tesla. So much for the narrative.

[@yettimannettii2039]

Any vehicle that is not well maintained can have this happen

@@yettimannettii2039see it all the time by the border. Salvaged titled cars that are literally Jerry rigged to run and stay together. Only a matter of time

[@Victic005]

@yettimannettii2039 well I haven't had a fire yet and my vehicles are not that well maintained.

[@yettimannettii2039]

@@Victic005 Good luck with that but one thing that you will want to do if nothing at all is keep your fuel lines fresh and secure.

[@619stang]

This happens all the time near the border. These salvaged title jalopys are ticking time bombs.

Ah another EV fire!!! They must be banned!!! OH, wait...

Spontaneous combustion, a side effect of on-fire Padres. I had a VW hatchback years ago fire up. Battery was under back seat. Individual sitting on it was....er, um, gravity challenged. Newport Beach, we all got out. Looked like a bunch of kooks

But messed up about the truck😐

No comments on how green ICE cars are? Or do the trolls only crawl out of the gutter for EV fires.

Well, I don't have a dog in this fight but I'll give it a try... Here we see a pickup that caught fire in the engine compartment. Firefighters were able to put the fire out in just a few minutes, since it was just the engine compartment. Would have been a different story had the fuel tank ruptured. When an EV catches fire, it's usually a result of a battery issue. And there are a lot of instances where batteries catch fire spontaneously. Kind of like the Samsung --Galaxy Note 7-- Super-Nova, but bigger, you know? How many people lose their homes each year to spontaneously-combusting fuel tanks? Not many. And how many people lose their homes each year to monstrously dangerous lithium batteries bursting into flame for no reason? A LOT. And all that heavy metal lithium going into the air can't be good for the environment. Probably punching holes in the ozone layer as I write! And the poor, poor California Condors are all dying from lithium poisoning. I honestly don't know how people concerned about the environment can purchase EVs in good conscience. It's like they can't differentiate the neon paint of a greenwashing campaign from nature's calm, soothing green. I don't like the color green though; I prefer black. The black of "rolling coal" spewing from my monster truck's tail pipes as I coat the pavement with rubber from my tires! Hope this satisfies your thirst, and I look forward to reading your heated response pointing out some of the holes in my intentionally flawed "argument"!

Only EV 🔥 make headlines 😂

[@DankSi]

Gas fires happen more often, but I think electric fires are hotter and more dangerous

[@Victic005]

@DankSi all fires are bad. it has nothing to do with it. Having no fire is best.

[@anchorsaweigh9893]

Honestly Crack Pipe fires are the worst.
