YES!!! Car fires are verry unpredictable also the smoke is just as if not more toxic than smoke in a building fire.

we should use water to put fires out too
WTF? Now you're being stupid! We don't need no stinking water. All fires eventually burn themselves out...

Without a doubt SCBA should be worn on all car fires. With the materials being used in the manufacturing process these days and the toxic fumes they give off during combustion you would have to be crazy no to wear them.

If anybody doubts the need to wear an SCBA at a car fire just watch all the videos of magnesium reacting to water and air bags exploding with fire fighters in close proximity. Plus all the issues of toxicity mentioned already

I will say it....I know we should wear SCBAs on car fires but with only 2 spare bottles on the wagon I am not going to use my air on a car fire and then stay out of service for 30 min while I wait for the air unit to come from some were in the city, and have a other companys run in my area while I wait to have my bottle filled.
