Embers fly for miles and start fires. Plenty of fuel for the fire in a car. Radiated heat also starts fires. Many homes are lost due to this as the heat sets curtains and furniture and paint etc on fire.

Embers fly for miles and start fires. ransomnote: Yes. Who doesn't know this? Plenty of fuel for the fire in a car. ransomnote: To burn, yes. To almost vaporize and melt, no. It takes time and more fuel than that which could be present - so we don't agree. 'Radiated heat also starts fires. Many homes are lost due to this as the heat sets curtains and furniture and paint etc on fire. ransomnote: Steel, glass, tires and aluminum are not curtains/furniture/paint etc. No matter how the fire started, it didn't have radiant heat to vaporize the tires when it was driving on the road. The tires had to burn 100% down to dust and radial steel belts while parked without a nearby source of radiant heat. The car is in a gravel parking lot. The nearest grass 10-15 feet away is not right beside the car and it's short grass - not enough fuel. |
