In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled MORE EVIDENCE - 2 Miles from Lahaina Fire A Melted Car Surrounded by Gravel! D.E.W. or What?

Grass fire temps having nothing to do with it because the fuel souce changed from grass to car materials.
"A vehicle fire can generate heat upwards of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit and that most foods are cooked at temperatures of less than 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Flames from burning vehicles can often shoot out distances of 10 feet or more."THe fire would not be hot enough, focused enough, or burn long enough to explain the damage in the images.
Bullshit, I’ve seen many burned out cars look like this. Especially if the car is full of camping equipment and clothes or methmaking chemicals. Maui has a sizable homeless population.
The toasty jeep looks just like my 1999 dodge 1 ton van that burned down in my driveway 10 years ago on a snowy morning... no glass left puddles of aluminum everywhere..... underhood fuel fire... got it shut down pretty quick.... had time to get my daughters guitar out (in its Christmas wrapping) and unhook my log splitter and roll it out of the way ... there was nothing left ... fire truck got stuck in the driveway... deputy showed up to take the report... he asked me what happened ....i said it must of been Al-quaida... he didn’t believe me..
