How hot does it have to get to melt a steel fender?
How does a barbecue (presumably in a pit) in FRONT of one car ignite the tires of another car?
I don't know, but my four yr old grandson can probably punch a hole through one, with his fist...
The cars have as much plastic on them, as steel....

Not all fenders are steel. I know pontiac has flexable fromt fenders because I own one.
When did they start making bumpers out of steel again?
I suspect the writer, a crack reporter, a product of our public educational system, was thinking of the fascia covering the bumper.
They are in a parking lot, you wouldn't have a "pit". I'm sure they are investigating whether somebody kicked over the Weber Grill, bouncing red-hot coals beneath the cars, or whether it was blown over in the wind? Perhaps, they left the grill between four cars to burn out and somebody came running along, late for the game, rushing between all the cars and slammed into the grill knocking it over? The latter would be my guess.
What century are you living in, dude? :-)
Most bumpers and fenders on cars today are actually made of plastic, and even foam! That stuff would melt from a match!

Something like this happened in KC many years ago. Some genius didn't want his little hibachi to be stolen during the game (remember that tailgating is done in the parking lot, so there's no "pit"), so before going into stadium, he hid the hibachi under his car... Of course, the coals were still going, and it did set a number of cars on fire.
