Five cars rented by President Joe Biden’s Secret Service detail for his Thanksgiving weekend trip to Nantucket mysteriously burst into flames a day after he left, according to reports.
Footage of the burned out rental vehicles in a car park at Nantucket Memorial Airport was obtained by the Nantucket Current.
The local news site reported that the cause of the fire was under investigation. No one was injured in the blaze.
Footage showed firefighters dampening down the smouldering remains of several vehicles including a Chevy Suburban, a Ford Explorer, an Infiniti QX80, a Ford Expedition, and a Jeep Gladiator.
In a statement, the airport said an active fire was spotted on its CCTV system at 5.22am on Tuesday.
“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.”
The blaze spread to just 40 feet (12m) from the airport’s fuel tanks, the Current reported said.
“Combined fire resources responded and contained the fire,” the airport said.

Maybe Joe shit in all of them and they had to be destroyed.
I can hear that photo.
They were all parked together nose to nose with the fire apparently starting with on of the middle SUVs. The Jeep and Suburban look nose to nose, the Infiniti looks to be on the far side of the vehicle that burned the most. Looks like it was one of the Fords that burned first.
You only need one car to catch fire to set off the rest. But, I noticed that the listed models weren’t EVs, too.
When you see the photos it makes more sense. They were all in close proximity to each other in a parking lot. Fire started on one and jumped the few feet to surrounding cars.
Meth. Very combustable!
Ford Expedition had a recall - center fuel tank was sparking
Not gonna say.
Well interesting that it is being very hushed too. At least I have not heard anything regarding the incident until I tripped across this article. I was like, wow, low media coverage?
Were men’s underpants and hammers found in the area?
So they would RENT a car without the recall being completed? As a regular consumer I would be upset, but this was the President’s family.
Must have been a hot time in Nantucket.... 🤓
OH NOOOOOEZ !!!!!
Looks like one caught on fire and the fire spread to the others.
Is the presence of cocaine and or Fentanyl detectable after a car is burned out? NO/ ... well that explains it.
was trying to be funny - yep, would be interesting to see how many rental vehicles haven’t had their recall repairs done.
center fuel tank spark was the joke (flight 800) - a really bad joke
Evidence: Kennedy’s affair...
Uhm...
Yeah, cars do this all of the time. Outbreaks of vehicle fires in airports happens at least, what, once a year. And multiple vehicles from the same rental group, yup, always happens. Nothing unusual. In fact, i’ll bet everyone personally knows someone who’s car caught on fire. It’s a pandemic! /s
