Approach vehicle fires from angles
Approach vehicles carefully from angles, and avoid direct lines from tires, bumpers, and hatchbacks containing struts. These items when in contact with continuous heat have a history of failing.
The exposure to heat will typically end up with some form of explosion that sends out a projectile towards those making the attack. We want to make the attack with an 1 ½" line and consider a back-up line as well. Bring the appropriate tools to the job. Have a minimum of a Halligan and an axe for potential forcible entry.
