CNG Honda Civic: Car Fire/Explosion - Dialup Warning, many photos
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a firefighter as many of you know and recently we had several training classes on car fires, wrecks, extrication issues. The topics ranged from large heavy duty vehicles (tractor trailers, school buses), Hybrid vehicle issues, alternative fuel cars. As such there are MANY issues that we have to deal with on a daily basis when responding to calls involving motor vehicles.
Below I have posted some photos of the CNG presentation I saw. I think you will find the photos extremely eye opening as to the dangers presented when a CNG/Propane/Hydrogen powered vehicle is involved in fire.
Just a quick heads up on terminology:
BLEVE: Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion.
This involves a pressurized vessel containing a liquid or pressurized gas, when subjected to high heat or fire, can explode VIOLENTLY sending extremely large amounts of fire and heat into the surrounding area. The tank is often broken into several small fragments causing shrapnel to fly about in the surrounding area. If you are anywhere near the vessel when this occurs you have an extremely high probability of serious life treating injuries or death.
A little bit about the call before the pictures. This call happened in seattle, washington and as a result I obviously do not have first hand experience with this call. The group of cars were set of fire by an arsonist. Only one CNG car was involved in this incident.
On to the photos!
