President Biden's rented Secret Service vehicles burst into flames in a parking lot Monday, just one day after he left his Nantucket vacation.
Biden spent Thanksgiving on the ritzy Massachusetts island with his family last week. The Secret Service rented five vehicles from Hertz to carry the president and his family, and all five of them caught fire in the parking lot, according to footage first obtained by the Nantucket Current.
Footage shows firefighters spraying down the smoldering remains of one vehicle's engine block. The five vehicles included a Chevy Suburban, Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX80, Ford Expedition, and a Jeep Gladiator.

I’m guessing Nantucket Island doesn’t have an airfield capable of supporting the Air Force’s C-5 cargo plane used to transport the Presidential automobile fleet.

They would tip it over.
Im betting a certain lady that lives in Chappaqua, NY is saying the same thing
If I want to know about Dragons, I’ll read Anne McCaffrey again.
Attitude? Why did you even bother commenting?
If you want to bully someone, go stand in front of a mirror…
I'm sorry if you thought I had an attitude and/or were bullying you? What do you think I was trying to bully you into?
The whole Vampire, Zombie, Game of Thrones, mystic escapism witlessness television thing just torques me off.
Just the tone of your comments.
It’s easy to misinterpret the printed word sometimes w/out conversing face-to-face.
If I took your comments wrong, then I apologize.
Sounds dramatic, but probably wouldn’t have done anything. Even if jet fuel is lying in an open pool, it takes a lot to ignite it. Simply dropping a match on it does nothing, for example. I’ve witnessed airport fire fighting training burns at close range and the fire fighters had to ignite the fuel with what amount to small flame throwers, and even then it took some time and effort to get it going. Once it got going, though, the group I was with started running backward because the heat a jet fuel fire produces is intense, even at a good distance.
The vehicle fire might have been enough to do the trick, but not through the walls of a steel tank.
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.
But only a single fire bucket
