Biden’s Secret Service Rental Vehicles Burn In Flames 1 Day After His Nantucket Departure
Daily Wire ^ | • Nov 29, 2022 | By Dillon Burroughs

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.

They were only part of the group of cars, that’s involvement enough to make be think firebugs weren’t involved. The Imposterident would have surely been in his regular heavily armored car.

Apparently, Ford and Lincoln SUVs like this one have experienced quite a few electrical fires from a circuit board for the cooling system. That fire looks like it was pretty intense though. What fuels the fire once it gets started?

Apparently, they didn’t read the MEMO about not exposing EV batteries to saltwater...something learned in Florida during Hurricane Ian.

So how many vehicles on car lots, parking garages, malls etc. parked closely beside each other just catch on fire. All used for transporting the same group of people, (who happens to be the POTUS and his security) the fires starting in the same part of the car?

Where these “green new deal” electric vehicles? We know about all kinds of fires with EV and how persistently long and hot they burn.

Personal experience: My MiL lives on a farm in Illinois. Because of the size of their “back yard”, she uses a golf cart to get to the outbuildings. Well......she parked the golf cart under a carport in front of the house. The golf cart’s electric battery caught the cart on fire, the fire spread to the car parked next to it, and that jumped to the front of the house and it spread up the front and over the roof. All in a manner of minutes. Scary. My grandson was staying with her as he did yardwork for her earlier (she’s 93) and got her out of the house.

So advice is never park a golf cart that runs on a battery in your garage. Insurance replaced it and they got a gas powered cart as a replacement.

I don’t know how folks who have an EV dare to park them in the garage. That’s like waiting for a bomb to go off.

Remember the DC lightning strike last year?
