Maybe this belongs in the Smokey Backroom.

Police stop car driving while on fire

First gun control and now this. Just take away all of my fun!

Pee-poor headline once again.

Why were the cops on fire while they were driving?

[Slings and Arrows]

Just another day in MB.

“The car was making this awful noise — I had to keep turning the radio up!”

[ModelBreaker]

Great headline. You can’t tell if it’s the policeman or the guy who got stopped who was burning up.

[Jeff Winston]

DWOF?

[Larry Lucido]

He might have been headed to Nevada for the annual Burning Man event.

“Hold m’ beer and watch this...”

I had an engine fire once in my Mercury Grand Marquis while driving in a strip mall parking lot early in the morning. Nothing was open where I could purchase a fire extinguisher. Left helpless, the little fire became a big fire.

You have never seen people rush so quickly to move their parked cars!

I emptied the trunk, retrieving everything of value (forgetting the CDs in the cabin).

First there was mostly smoke, until the fire made it to the passenger compartment, but the REAL fun came when the glass broke. The sudden rush of air made the fire shoot maybe 30 feet high. It was somewhat surreal. It would have been only interesting if it weren’t my car. But I wasn’t crushed by the experience, as my once white Mercury turned charcoal grey.

You see, the car had a great body, but in the short time I had owned it, I had to replace transmission, brakes, and other stuff to the tune of $2K. It STILL ran like crap. Then I was told the engine would need a $2K overhaul. I had been deciding whether I would throw good money after bad. On one level, it was nice that the decision was made for me.

Police stop car driving while on fire

I think as a policy, Policemen should not drive cars that are on fire. This is a good thing.

Thanks for the ping.

stopped a car that was driving while on fire

What was it driving and did it have a drivers license?

[Clay Moore]

Surprising how many truck fires I have run where the painters are driving down the road and the cigarette they flip out the window blows back into the bed of the truck on top of the lacquer soaked rags.

That’s a real Hot rod with real flame decals.
