I responded to a vehicle fire and I also had a portable Chemical Fire extinguisher that was the same size as that officers.

I found out the hard way that once a fire gets started in the engine compartment one extinguisher is not going to stop it.Even if your able to open the hood that fire is going to burn do to the amount of combustible material.

Road Pirate. Putting lives in danger for a guy probably going 5 mph more than the flow of traffic.
All for some revenue-generating. These kind of cops are worthless.

I’ve used a fire extinguisher on a car fire. It wasn’t worth the effort.

I pulled over behind a young girl as she pulled off the road with the engine fully engulfed. After failing to extinguish the fire, I asked if she had anything in the car she needed.

“Nope, it’s my mom’s car.”

Apparently her mom had nothing worth keeping in the car.

By the time the fire trucks arrived, it was a full on car-B-Que
