Car Fire in my Neck of the Woods

Yeah...was gonna mention those magnesium things....what was that car that came out in the 80/90's that was the first magnesium block? Think it was the volkswagen jetta maybe.

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.)

I think Whataburger put out an official statement claiming it was the new Jalapeno Burger that is advertised...
