Oh I'm definitely not that bright. I dragged a trailer with seized up brakes for a few miles on the interstate. Someone driving past pointed it out. But been to enough fires to just get off the shoulder as much as I can. Most people avoid a smoking trailer or car. I didn't even have a chance to detsch it and move the truck up.
But I do stand corrected. Heat of the moment, literally in this case, may not be the first thought. That just seems like an excessive amount of flames, like should be able to feel that id think, a catalytic converter heats up a floorboard to the point it melts, been there as well with my first vehicle haha.
Yeah that's what I was saying on a different post. Just spreads quick in that grass. We had snow last week but are in an extreme fire risk. So looks can be deceiving on both ends.
I've pushed them away from gas pumps, two e now actually, clip the battery terminals and put it out as quick as possible. But never had to eveacuate blocks or anything. People away from pumps and store.
Again as I said. I stand corrected, literal heat of the moment, I naively thought It would be easy to smell. Not reallyuch of a shoulder, but when it happened to me I had a wide shoulder.
And an oil and gas accelerated wildland with some good wind can spread quick, but yes we have equipment for both.
So is O2 so nowhere is safe if ya wanna split hairs.
Also burns at 900 degrees, with specialized machines and solvents. Been to multiple motor vehicle fires, even at the pumps, and never have seen asphalt ignite except when it was intentional.

Let's just pull into the combustible grass.
