President Joe Biden’s Secret Service rental vehicles were part of a large fire just one day after he left from a Nantucket vacation.
The Monday fire at the Nantucket Memorial Airport in Massachusetts included five vehicles rented from Hertz that were used to transport the president and his family.
“A large car fire involving multiple rental vehicles at Nantucket Memorial Airport is now out. There were no injuries reported but at least four cars sustained significant damage,” the Nantucket Current tweeted in a series of posts alongside videos and pictures of the damage.
“The fire was just 40 feet away from the airport’s 25,000-gallon jet fuel tanks,” the outlet added.
The vehicles involved in the fire included a Chevy Suburban, Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX80, Ford Expedition, and Jeep Gladiator. The Expedition was reportedly under a battery recall, though the source of the fire has not yet been determined.
The airport was briefly closed due to the fire but soon reopened.
Airport officials shared a statement about the blaze with the Current.
“At approximately 5:22 am Airport shift staff observed an active fire in the rental car overflow area through the Airport’s Closed Circuit Television System,” the statement said. “Staff activated the Alert system and responded to the fire in Airport-3, where they were met by responding units from Nantucket Fire Department and Nantucket Police Department.”
“Combined fire resources responded and contained the fire. Several vehicles were damaged. The Airport is currently coordinating with rental car agencies and agency partners to ensure scene safety, There is no longer an active fire at this time: the Airport is open, and aeronautical operations are not affected,” the statement continued.
The local Inquirer and Mirror newspaper also posted images of the burned vehicles on Monday, noting that the fire occurred in the overflow parking lot.
The investigation is ongoing, and no results have been made public.
The president and first lady Jill Biden stayed at a location along Nantucket Harbor over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, part of a decades-long family tradition. Nantucket is a small island about 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod.

In a strange twist, the Bidens visited the Nantucket Fire Department last week to thank firefighters for their service. The Bidens gave firefighters pumpkin pies from Pie Shop in Washington D.C., according to the Nantucket Current.
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning, since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No, we didn’t light it, but we tried to fight it
“Chevy Suburban, Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX80, Ford Expedition, and Jeep Gladiator”
I do not believe anyone of those are EVs
Where’s the video of Pedo Joe driving that e-Caddy?
So Joe’s travels are causing Global Climate Change!
Took me a whopping 15 seconds (from 4 months ago)

Sounds like Biden and the Democrats are being sent a message.
Maybe this was intended to fan the flames of dissent - if the Chinese can take XI down, why not XXXXVI
Well, technically, it’s still Fall.
Some Repairs Now, Some in Fall
About a third of the SUVs have an 800-watt cooling system. Ford dealers already have the parts to fix those.
Joe crapped the seats and they were never going to get rid of the smell.
Thanks!.......................
No, that one looks like the Expedition. That vehicle has an aluminum body. Aluminum melts at a relatively low temperature so the melting of the body isn’t that unusual.
The Federal Panty Sniffers are trying to determine a motive, but will raid the nearest pro-lifer’s home just in case.
No prob. I saw this story posted elsewhere and it had that ‘hyped’ smell.
It’s a crying shame that the greenies can’t blame it on gasoline. /s
“The Bidens gave firefighters pumpkin pies from Pie Shop in Washington D.C., according to the Nantucket Current.”
Wow, too bad the firefighters weren’t Ukrainians! They really could have scored big!
It looks very suspicious.
Who fired it?
The article makes it sound like the ONLY vehicles that burned that day were those used by Joey Crappy Pants and his SS Detail.
That would be really suspicious if ONLY those vehicles on the entire lot burned.
EVs?
Hybrids, I think...............
More than suspicious. Locally Hertz is broke, gone, out of bidness. Their local yard and maintenance facility is swept bare. If that’s actually a Hertz yard I’m going with insurance fire?
