Luton car park fire
Permalink  

The car park at the Luton airport had a Land Rover catch fire which subsequently destroyed the car park and a lot of vehicles parked inside.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk0MWDsueMY for John Cadagon's commentary on it.

At the end he gives advice on what to do if you are inside a carpark which catches fire or anywhere near a b urning vehicle or your vehicle catches fire. 

I recommend seeing these recommendations as your IQ tends to take a holiday when you are unexpectedly put under extreme stress.

Worth the watch - certainly causes one to think about the possibility of fire.

Agreed, it should be a sticky on this forum site.

My Peugeot 504 just started to catch fire. Some wiring had worn through its insulation. 

 

Got the fire out in time, cutting the battery & didn't need to use either of my two 1.0kg or 1.5kg the BCF fire extinguishers.

 

In my current car I have cable cutters, two fire extinguishers (which I bash every month to free up settlement of powder). Also a handful of fire extinguishers around the home & a few in the common areas of the block of units as is required by State law.
