Upon arrival, crews found a Jeep from Safari Jeep Tours parked on the roadway with fire and smoke coming from the vehicle’s engine compartment.

Typically when you have car trouble you pull off to the side of the road.” stated SFD Fire Marshal Gary J. Johnson. “Parking the vehicle on the road prevented the fire from spreading into the dry vegetation avoiding a wildfire.”

    Fire investigators on the scene are looking to spontaneous combustion as the cause of the fire. The front wood desk was in the process of being refinished using penetrating oil. As the oil dries it produces heat. Improper disposal of any wiping clothes, such as, placing them in a trash bag or trash can contains the heat, this may result in spontaneous combustion. A proper disposal for any materials used in the application and cleanup of penetrating oil includes placing these items in a bucket of water to avoid the possibility of spontaneous combustion.

    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
