Was it because he was about to enter Private Property on foot for a recce, albeit a dump.?
My S2A has a Batt. Isol. fitted. I fitted it the day I recommissioned the vehicle Who wants to start a fire in the middle of a grassy paddock with 10 gallons of Petrol on board? Not I.
NB. Didn't mean a dump as in a ****, although that could have been his motive, just that the property was in a bad repair sort of dump.[biggrin]
Funny, that. In late September, 2009, my wife rang me at around 08:30 at work to say " Johnno, our house is on fire!!". What I said to her was "turn off the main switch". Why did I say that?? The house was already alight. It made absolutely no difference, and I fail to see why you would think it would in this case, AM. Ignition is not the problem, because that has already occurred, The car was ablaze. An isolator would be of no help, and might expose the car owner to life threatening risk trying to do something that is pointless.
And as for the suggestions for shovelling dirt.. have any of you actually tried that in that situation?? I have. it doesn't work when the fire is as advanced as this one, and is fuelled by the accelerant known as diesel. Don't even THINK of doing it if is petrol. You will probably die. Diesel is hard to ignite, but is harder to extinguish. Petrol EXPLODES. This guy couldn't pinpoint the source of his fire, so where does he shovel? Fires are scary, and readjust people's thinking.
Much better, as the thread title suggests, grab the vitals and run. A short run on the extinguisher, sure, but save some to stop the fire getting loose in the bush you say you love.
