That Volvo hatchback driver needs to redo their driver course ASAP.. if that Tesla had panicked and slammed left Into another car, the responder wouldn’t have a leg to stand on with their proximity to the Tesla and flashing headlights. It’s frustrating as fuck when people don’t move, but all you can do is keep a safe distance, show yourself to each mirror, cycle the sirens… and if they don’t move, they don’t move. But touching bumpers is asking for trouble and no job is worth causing a wreck.

Was this recorded recently? Some old cars owned by the responders. I would think they were imitating fire, police etc. Thats my personal view btw, I don't need to know all the key details on each car please, like whether it has Whelan lazer light.

@@tgm9991 I am not a firefighter, however from what I have seen reported by firefighters and evidence as to how a Lithium battery fire is tackled one way is to place a fire blanket over it, hose it with copious amounts of water, place the whole thing in a tank full of water to prevent the possible re-ignition. These fires or whatever size do give off toxic gases and are likely to explode and the water run off is toxic and should be kept out of water courses for the obvious reason that water probably runs into the general waste water system.
