Great job, firefighters.
Seems that more and more cars are catching fire lately and most times is the battery that shorts out, gets super hot and ignites.
Car fires are quick to spread as just about everything in them is plastic.
Thankfully, this was not one of those Full Electric vehicles where once the batteries start burning is very difficult to get under control and put out.
GREAT Job, Bellview, Ensley, Cantonment, Osceola and Beulah fire stations
