We seem to have a theme going this weekend with vehicle fires. First it was an ambulance fire in Newark, New Jersey and then a tanker fire in Tioga County, Pennsylvania (which has prompted a full KIC alert).
This is just a plain old car fire. We don’t post many car fire videos, but the ones we do tend to prompt lively discussions. In fact, some of the liveliest. The topics that have generated the most input from our legion of KICs have been about PPE and use of reel lines on vehicle fires.
Running right behind those topics is the universal problem illustrated by this video from Arlingtoncards on YouTube of a Ford Mustang fire Tuesday evening in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Getting under or through the hood was the challenge on this fire, something most everyone has dealt with at some point in their career. Discuss among yourselves.

From the AP:
Police in Los Angeles distributed DVDs on Sunday featuring surveillance video of a man wanted for questioning in connection with a rash of suspicious car fires in the city.
The person of interest is a white male between 20 and 30 years old with a receding hairline and a shoulder-length ponytail, according to Officer Sara Faden. The man was seen on video Saturday after emerging on foot from inside an underground parking structure on Hollywood Boulevard that was the scene of a car fire.
Detectives estimated the man, who was wearing a bulky jacket, is between 5’6" and 6’1" tall.
Faden said investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying the man on the video.
Detectives spent early Sunday analyzing security video camera footage and following up on other leads after a half dozen more vehicles were set on fire on New Year’s Eve.
The outbreak of arson fires has left a trail of smoldering debris in Hollywood, West Hollywood, North Hollywood and the Fairfax district of Los Angeles since Thursday.
Authorities said they were investigating a total of 43 suspicious fires. Most of those fires were set in parked cars. In several cases, flames have jumped to carports and apartment units.
"They are working on hundreds of clues, interviewing dozens of witnesses, picking up countless pieces of evidence," police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said of the detectives.
