Police Car Burns After Parking on Leaves
Tim over at 43 Firefighter has some interesting pictures of a police car that started on fire after parking on some leaves. First time I've ever heard of something like that.
Here in farm country, the tall grass will sometimes start on fire due to the hot exhaust and catalytic converters on the underside of vehicles.
I was a passenger in our brush truck at a wheat field fire a few years back. The driver parked in uncut wheat next to the tender to refill with water. When he opened his door, flames shot up between the vehicle and the door! Luckily, the tender had plenty of water and they were quick to use it.
