That's it! Volkswagons are bad about all the magnesium in them. The fire that burned my coat was on a Chevy pickup truck. We sprayed the inside, under the dashboard and there she went. Boom! Fireworks! It can be quite unnerving if you don't expect it.

Here's a shot I took back in 1992 at a car fire. (Before I became a firefighter.)
