We had a vehicle fire at work ten days ago or so.
V-Dubb Vanagon was having issues to stay running.
Stalled a couple of times.
turns out it was a fuel issue and leaking fuel no less.
Drove up the ramp and got to about 0 feet from the deck of the ship before it burst into flames.
A five pound Co2 f/e did nothing and the ships crew didnt connect enough hose right away.
The driver didnt believe her V-Dubb was burning till the smoke started to fill the cab.
Fire Rescue arrived in about 7 minutes from the 9-11 call and by that time the ships Fire Party had enough hose strung out and geared up that all Delta did was use the thermal imaging to confirm the fire was out.
Ship was 40 minutes late on departure, but they got a pretty good show .
Stay Safe everyone,
Rob
