In my life I’ve seen two cars catch fire while parked. Neither one of them made international news. They didn’t even make the local news.
“In my life I’ve seen two cars catch fire while parked. Neither one of them made international news. They didn’t even make the local news.”
Years ago post-Internet, my self-insured municipality had a fire truck catch fire on a routine delivery of Meals-on-Wheels, a million or so worth of damage.
No one injured.
Very brief local news.
Those who responded and found it hilarious, or disturbing that firefighters had risked and lost so much outside of actual firefighting, were alleged to have hated firefighters, wished death upon the elderly, and “Fine, see how fast firefighters come when YOU need them!”
Sad and funny at the same time.
