- Ruptured the fuel tank after blowing the tires and from there it just went horribly wrong, despite the crowd abuse fire crew on the pad did there best with what they had but were understaffed and unorganized for that situation.

this is why the british exiled them to a large island
What a bunch of apes. "Go to the fucking car you idiots!", what's the point of extinguishing a car if there's a trail of fire following it...
as an australian i have to agree
Harsh but true words.
Lmao
As an Australian, that made me cackle.
They were washing the fuel on the ground because methanol burns invisible so there was actually a large flame but you can’t see it in daylight
2mins 42 you see 2 guys watering the puddle of fuel at the end of the trail when they should have been right behind car the whole time trying to cut it off. Thats what was setting crowd off.
Nelson Granger wow u reply this late and thank you for clarifying
@@MCFRYMotorsport no it fucking wasn't. The dipshit crowd didn't even realize that the methanol was burning.
@@NotBroihon Of course they did realise. They were justifiably frustrated that the fire crew was using the best equipment to put out a road on fire, a fire that'll burn itself out without harming anything. All the while leaving a couple of guys with fire extinguishers to tackle the source on their own. Sod the damn road! Put the fire out behind the car and the car itself! The crowd knew what was going on.
Exactly
They're not saving the skid pad, they're isolating the lit meth fire on the pad from the ruptured fuel tank on the car. You can put the fire out on the car but it will just travel along the fuel spill and light up again. Amazing they don't understand this really.
Ironically the crowd is the "fucking idiots" who cannot grasp what's going on.
@@foxxcvii7170 armchair experts like these fuckwads that pretend they know what they're talking about are the scum of the earth
I can hear the knuckles dragging
These are burnout enthusiasts after all. 🤷♂️😂
Ignorance at a car show? That’s unheard of!
I think these ppl in the crowd are a little special
I mean…. They are Australian
So flabbergasted when ordinary people think they know more than professionals 🤦🏽♀️
There not professionals 🤣
@@darthsidious8926 at what?
@@RodinsTheBanger I'm drunk and disorderly high.
Most marshalls are volunteers and have minimal basic training.
@@ccramit For something like this, yes. But here in the UK at large events we’re all professionals internationally licensed and qualified. We’ve got to retake tests every couple of years and train every day of an event
They was putting out the invisible fire as well they tried to move the car to try and stop spread with the burning fuel.
Should have had one guy putting out the fire on the road, cutting it off from the car and everyone else working on the car. I don't know what good it did to stand at the end of the fuel trail and trying to put that portion out. You cut it in the middle, the rest will burn itself out, away from the car. The car fire was the most important part, but most of the gear was being used on the non-important portions of the fire.
@@ccramitCutting it off in the middle using water (methanol is extinguished with water unlike gasoline) would have been the best strategy, but what they did is effective too. Move the car away from the crowd and fight the tail of the fire before fighting the source, so you don't have to worry about reigniting. I bet the methanol would also be way less flammable on the grass since it would seep into the ground and not pool, so it might effectively be cut off from the tail just by rolling into the grass a few feet.
If you value your loiif, don’t start a methanol fire man
Tallon Mashburn tiktok
Ayy I saw the @joelbergs vid too
I came from there
Had to search it up too
We’re all from his tiktoks😂
That is the most bogan crowd I have ever seen. I guess the "good" Australians don't go to this kinda event.
If you see what's going on in their shit for brains country, this explains fucking everything man.
@@lakikratki7311 I mean Elon musk is the perfect example. You really think he’s smart but the truth is he’s just a front man with little to no originality. Steve Irwin would be the opposite though.

Reminds me of South Park's NASCAR episode🤣🤣
@@Romy--- Obama's gay as hell
Damn Australians are mean when it comes to cars 😂
Damn fire is meen when it comes to Australians.😂🔥🎆
Well to be fair yhe rest of the fire will bur its self out. The only thing on fire is is the fuel and the mud. They souldve prioritize the car with a fueltank in it
I’m from Australia and most of us are pretty good with that type of stuff, but some of them ruin it. ☹️
@@ains2904 brooo you said that before the australia fires damn
@@dominicwilliamson7912 the fuel trail leads directly to the car. There is no point in stopping the fire on the car when the trail would have lit it again seconds later and this time directly onto the fuel tank.
Suddenly they'll are screaming experts
dudes screaming go to the car don't realize if the fuel on the ground ignites again its gonna cause a much bigger issue and travel back to the car anyway....the more you know
so i pay for lung cancer there :o
"If you value your loife"
I got it from him too lol
Lol
May that rear differential rest in peace
I like comment
Yes this is a good comment
Logic
Those people are just so lovely and friendly and warm.
It just goes to show how unprepared they are for something like this to happen and maybe they should do a mandatory amount of fuel in the car like 10 litres only
Oh that'll be gone in seconds
Angry Audience: What are they doing putting out an invisible fire over there? It's over here on this tire clearly...
It's a methonal fire, it's actually invisible in daylight.
The audience was annoyed because the crew diverted their best resources away from the flaming car full of fuel, to fighting a road on fire which is doing no harm and will burn itself out in a couple of minutes, no harm done.
@@Stigstigster It could spread.......
@@sharkybloxsolution7491 actually, unlikely. As said the fuel would have burnt it's self off. If they contained the run off to the car, they would have saved it.
@@burnout9069 nope, the fuel was leaking from the car as you saw it being pulled away, you could continue to put the car fire out but the trail of invisible methanol flame would be following and could reignite the car at any point. Drunken crowd angry at fire marshals who know how a certain fuel burns.
Wow!! Severely unprepared fire response, just hope everyone learned from this
SIGMARE absolutely wrong the fire is invisible because it’s methanol. Whatever fire you were seeing was the tires burning and other stuff. They were moving the car to stop the spread they were actually spraying the invisible fire.
SIGMARE When methanol burns it has no color
Yes the fire is invisible. And yes of course they were moving the car to stop it from burning. The point I am trying to make is that as an organisation you should me aware of potential hazards (including chemicals) in this case methanol. And have an appropriate response plan to deal with the situation. Nothing personal.. every workplace has one.
SIGMARE ah good point they probably didn’t have a plan because things like these are a rarity
@@mdevil1570 obviously. Still incredebly unprepared especially for a methanol fire.
So if you value your looifff
Mohammad Ammar realy you came from TikTok
Tiktok squad
Lmao Australians sound so funny when they're pissed
When Monday comes around
Everyone’s an expert in this town
Monday’s experts
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing
What a fucking clown show, 1 fire Marshall on the car, 3 blokes on the pad....
I got to visit there. You guys are awesome
Foam extinguisher is best for fuel fire, you'd think they would have some on hand
Water is best for methanol fires
If this was their best,
Would hate to see them stuff it up
Was the pad ok
I love when people roll in burning as much rubber as possible. Great as a viewer when visibility is arms length 🤣
Thats looks like an expensive buff out job to do to the tonner
Interviewer: Hey, why do you come to these things
Attendee: Me? I come for the smoke. And to call people Dickhead
They don't understand about an invisible flame 😂
They don't even know atoms exist 💀
Imagine yelling at fire-fighters with no idea what you're talking about
Australians when they see a slight amount of tomfoolery:
Why he ran so much fuel in his fuel cell is crazy, I know high horsepower drag engines are thristy af, but in dirt track racing and demo derby that I run along with my buddies mud truck and drag car, they have limited gallon fuel cells so you don't get a huge ass fuel slick or fire.
Why did they keep moving the car, their spreading the fuel which is creating more fire and their taking the car from the firefighter trying to put the bloody thing out
I think it was because it kept forming a bigger and bigger puddle of (invisibly) burning methanol under the car and the only way they could stop it from engulfing the car was by moving it out of the flames. I think they finally moved it onto the grass in hopes that the ground would act a bit like a sponge and stop the puddle from spreading outward so much.
Bruh they are moving the car to stop the spread the fire is invisible
Why so much fuel in the car 🤦🏻♂️
God forbid the ground burns flat to the ground and turns into nuthin but blackened soot and melted rubber.
Pretty sure breathing in that colored smoke is gonna give everyone cancer because there is no amount of money you could pay me to sit in those stands.
It make more sense to concentrate on the car because it's the source with a tank that can explode.
Unless its in the middle of a methanol fire. Then you gotta stop the fire. No point putting the car out only for the invisible flames to light it again
@@bibsp3556 you could say the same for the car , i still think putting out the fire of the car and slowly going back to the puddle of methanol would be the best method
Kick da ball, kick da bloody ball
angelEIP1 kick tha boooooooaaaaaaaal
empty barrels always make the most noise
none of youse have any respect for the fire crew, you wanna know how scary this is? because of the firecrew the car survived, litterly nobody has any respect for them saving the car from being a toasted lump of rubber, metal, etc, and all i hear from everybody is: "tHe fIrE cReW sHoUlD bE eMbArAsSeD" or "jEeZ tHe fIrE cReW sUcK" like seriously, they put the fire out and everything and they get hate for that? like jesus christ have some respect, i full on reckon you'd be doing the same thing if you were in their shoes, so next time have some fukn sympathy
I love hearing Aussies cuss!! 😂
if you switched the accents up and told me this was Texas i'd believe ya😂
can't tell if they're annoyed or just australian
Well...lessons were learned on that day. They could (I think) have gotten a handle on this right until the point they started moving the car. From that point on, all available resources were spread thin between the car and the pool of invisible fire. That was counterproductive, to say the least. Next time, they will leave a burning vehicle vehicle stationary, and throw on as much water as possible - maybe also put down a heavy foam blanket. Limiting the spreading of a fire is the key objective here, and they failed pretty hard on that one. They kind of had the right idea (separating the fuel source from the fire) but as it turns out, liquid fires behave in their own special way. As I said: that is a lesson learned, right there.
Oh, and also: Cars usually do not explode like they do in the movies, unless there is something explosive inside them. You may see and hear windows or tires blow (sometimes that can be pretty loud), and yes, a fuel tank might also go off with a loud "woosh". But those huge sky high explosions that people envision are a Hollywood thing.
Thats sum topnotch straya for ya m8
You can not leave a large methanol fire burning in front of the grandstands. I’ve ran tracks on my weekend hobby and we had a huge lawsuit which is how I acquired my track. The owners left a fire going which then was sued but spectators for smoke inhalation. So these dumb asses don’t 7nderstand. If you bring faulty equipment that’s your responsibility. Our track is our responsibility. We don’t worry about material items
Crowd abuse? They were cheering them on.
Listen to all the experts! Clearly never tried to control a Methanol fire.....
This truck is a vape god
1:01 " *did not even caught yet* " ARE YOU SURE??
As usual, the internet can't seem to agree on anything... We should realize that the show isn't real. It was a show. As for real life, water is ineffective on ethanol fires. If it were a methanol fire, water can extinguish it.
Just got done watching some informative vid on methanol fires how they’re invisible and smokeless.
Everyone's an expert all of a sudden 😒
Lmao,
They used water to try and extinguish a fuel fire 🤦♂️
Number one rule!!
NEVER extinguish a fuel fire with water,
And those yelling save the car!!
They have no obligation to save the car, they are there to put out a fire, f@ck the car lol, it’s an old shitter anyway
Another fuckin extinguisher🤣
All fire sciences majors for sure 🙄
1: ethanol fuel fires can hit over 3000° F
2: Ethanol fires burn so hot and clear that you can’t see them in daylight.
3: the fire became visible because it was burning the car itself.
4: it’s almost impossible to put out an ethanol fire without AR foams. Water isn’t going to do it in that amount.
Have to love crowdstand geniuses 🤦🏻♀️
And so many Australians really think they’re better than Americans… just listen to that crowd 💀
Well we are. it's just the 5% that ruine it for the rest
Aussie’s are definitely better than Americans 😂
Obviously not professional fire fighters using the incorrect extinguishers for that type of fire
What, invisible ones?
Its a liquid methanol fire against CO2 that's not very effective against, they used some foam but not too much
1) Do not move a vehicle thats leaking fuel, it will result in the spread of fire, causing firefighters to spread out thinly unnecessarily.
2) due to earlier mistake too much manpower is focusing on other factors than the source of fire, in this case the vehicle leaking fuel feeding the fire.
3) If a vehicle on fire have a pool of burning fuel beneath it, focus on extinguishing the fire beneath the vehicle and do not move vehicle.
4) Since the vehicle is already on fire, theres a chance it will explode regardless if it had been moved or not nor will it save the vehicle.
Note: Its important to understand which factors need the most priority and knowing what to do/what NOT to do during an emergency.
Overall I feel that the situation could've been handled more efficiently, firefighters could've been better trained or informed regarding certain situations.
They could not extinguish the fire, wrong extinguishers for a fuel fire 🤷♂️ I am not sure why but it kept re-igniting but if they didn't move the car the leaking tank would have grown and there would be no car. They should have been better prepared for the situation but they did do the best they could with what was available to them.
@@MCFRYMotorsportThose type of extinguishers work well for methanol fires. Methanol just burns invisible, the times you see red are something else burning alongside the methanol. It's hard to fight because you don't know where the fire is besides feeling the heat. It was even harder in this case because the fuel was spread out so much.
I blame the Random Souths guy
now i discoverd invisible fire , time to use it :)
Crikey!
This got to be the most american thing I ever watched
They're Aussies
Just spreading the fire they are.
fukin fire crew care about a bit of bloody tarmac instead of a beauty car
car: on fire
extinguisher car: arrives
extinguisher car: parks
car: rolls away
extinguisher car: **impossible**
2:44 TF2 heavy in real life.
Me after visiting los santos customs
is this really a fail? I mean... look at this video, 100k views, isn't this what people wanted?
When you have 1 job to do and...
What is this "sport" good for? I donzsee much fun
There should of saved the car
I love how stupid a lot of us Aussies are
The most ignorant crowd in america 😂
Seriously a clown act.
whatch me make dat pretty fire worse, ill drag my car with it leaking fuel away from fire, durrrr
Me cague de la risa
What is this absolutely stupid sport?
its america, did you really expect any intelligence from the crowd?
Armchair firefighters
All the people commenting here saying that the spectators were the idiots are the actual idiots. All the comments saying "The audience is dumb because they don't realise the fire crew is putting out the invisible methanol road fire are completely missing the point. The valuable car with a tank of burning invisible methanol is being tackled by 2 guys with little fire extinguishers whilst the serious firefighting equipment is being wasted on a flaming road. The audience is annoyed because TO HELL WITH THE DAMN ROAD! Concentrate on the CAR FIRE! The road is on fire but it really is not important. The road fire will burn itself out and the road will not give a shit because it will barely be damaged, if at all. Leave that road to burn itself out and go with the heavy firefighting equipment to tackle the car FFS! The audience do understand there is an invisible fire on the road and they also understand the road is unimportant, unlike the car full of fuel! Using the resources in a pointless manner is what got them angry, not that they didn't understand invisible methanol fire! Half the commenters here have absolutely proven themselves to be dumber than that audience that's for sure. Rant over.
You're missing the entire point. If you put out the invisible fire on the burning car, it will be reignited immediately by the invisible fire behind it, and you won't know. The invisible fire trail can be extinguished much more easily than the fire on the car because the trail does not have fresh fuel feeding it. This is basic standard procedure for fighting fires.
@@cameronl1859 true
Another gender reveal party gone wrong. Smh.
That was a joke the way they handled that 🔥
It was a methanol fire, when they are spraying the fuel on the floor theyvare actually dealing with an invisible fire you cant see in daylight
@@saturos5068 This guys understanding of fire is a joke.
why does anyone think this is cool?
Stralians lmao
Bogans...
Electric cars pose fire hazard due to the lithium batteries being flamable.
Yeah and so do regular combustion cars.
If you want a car with no fire hazards take a hydrogen powered one.
hydrogen is literally the most flammable thing ever
@@devon12346 but safe if secured in right manners
@@devon12346It burns much differently, though. It is more explosive than gasoline and is very difficult to get to burn for a long period of time. Any hydrogen cell fire would be out in a few seconds.
There are different risks with hydrogen cars, though...transporting large amounts of hydrogen (like in a tanker, much more than what is in a single hydrogen car) is much more dangerous, for example.
Fuel industry employees would be at more risk, as would people using the pump, but drivers would be much more safe.
"fucking itdiots" means good job in Aussie.
