Car Fires



For the second half of this quarters minimum company standards we will be focusing on car fires.  Car fires are often looked at as being "Cut and Dry."  Simple calls that just require getting water on the fire as quickly as possible.  However, as the safety systems that have been designed to protect the vehicle occupants have become more technically advanced, they have created some significant challenges and hazards to firefighters during vehicle fire operations.

The videos below show a few examples of hazards associated with modern vehicle fires.
