Feel sorry for the guy, best bit is how people rushed to help him, good video to demonstrate how you should always carry a fire extinguisher on board

Ive left my comments;

"@bilbie121 - I agree mate. What a tosser. Glad to hear its all working out ok though."

I carry two extinguishers and yes it is law in France. Not sure if this extends to Germany and Belgium, but i should think it does. Either way, we have to drive through france to get there unless you catch a longer ferry!!

I have 3 cars, each one has a fire extinguisher on board, I cannot imagine that none of the passing cars did not have an extinguisher, just no one willing to help - modern society

For what its worth; if you do ever get a fire in your air filters I suggest, if it can be done safely, try to get the bonnet off as quickly as possible to release the heat before the fire spreads.

I once had an air-filter fire - there was a pop as it spit back through the carb , it cut out and wouldnt re-start .
Then I noticed white smoke coming out around the front wheels - I popped the bonnet to find my foam air filter had become a smoke bomb
Luckily it was one of those pop-on ITG ones , so I pulled it straight off - and it burst into flames in my hand !
I stamped it out on the ground , re-fitted it - and carried on as if nothing had happened

All this while the car behind me at the junction just blew his horn cuz I was blocking the road..................





Its cuz I is blond , innit

In Greece it is Mandatory to carry a fire ext, a first aid kit and High vis. triangle.


I also carry 2 Hi Vis. vests, one bulb of each type, bottle of de-ionised water, flashlight and car cover.

I once stopped at a vehicle fire. Blasted it with £50 worth of extinguisher. The bloke said "phew, that was close!", got in his car and drove off...

Looks like there was an attempt to put the fire out using a powder extinguisher (white powder on the road and bonnet)
Probably too small.

When all's said and done, it's High Wycombe. The chilled owner probably has 4 other cars in his garage.
Had it been Doncaster, the entire fire service would've been on the case within 5 minutes.
The dude filming probably lit the match.
